Dakars or AAL? Which coil?

Hello TW. First post here, bear with me. I've been lurking for a while, and doing lots of reading and emailing vendors, but I'd appreciate some member advice.

I have a 2011 DCLB 4x4 with no extra weight added. It has 1-1/2" factory rake, currently leveled with 3/4" top spacers. I'm mostly pavement, with some sand and logging roads. No serious off-road or towing, and only occasional hauling of 500 lbs. I don't mind a stiffer ride, but I don't want a tank.

I'm planning to go with 255/80/17 ST Maxx's on stock sport rims. I thought I had decided on 5100's with new coils for 2-1/2" to 3" in front, and a HS or Wheeler's 3 leaf AAL for 1-1/2" to 2" rear lift, but then I read more and started questioning whether I should get a medium Dakar pack for a better quality lift.
Now I can't decide, because since I'd like to be close to level, if I install the Dakars (2-3/4"?) I'll need way over 3" in the front to get close to level, and then i'll need new UCA's (which I might need either way).
The only thing i'm decided on now is the Billies.

Sooo...
Opinions on 3 leaf AAL vs Dakars for my situation?
Which coil for 3 leaf AAL to get close to level w/5100's on zero?
Which coil for medium Dakar pack to get close to level w/5100's on zero?

 

If your rear springs aren't sacked out,go with the progressive aal. I did 885's on 5100s with LR ucas along with the aal. Rides awesome.

 

Toytec has a few adjustable kits that will probably give you what you want. Also start browsing the used market buy/sell threads you could lock into some icons or fox adjustable fronts and simply get some 5100 for rear. I would suggest against getting 5100 in rear if you're going with a Dakar pack as you will not have the proper extended numbers with the 5100. Good luck.

 

Thanks for the info.
@Monkeybutt2000 idk if my springs are sacked out or not. They're pretty flat, but it sounds like they come new that way. Need to load up the bed and see what it looks like, i guess.
@bski22 thanks for info about the rear shock length. I wasn't sure about that.
