    I have a new '17 4x4 offroad dcsb. Im pretty sure im going with the 5100s with ome 887 to get a 2"-2.5" lift. With a 1/4" spacer for the driver side lean.
    I want to go as high as I can without needing UCAs.
    Would I need to add anything else to this set up? idk like a AAL or something for the rear?
    Thanks!

    Well without the AAL, you’re going to have some major bro lean with the only lifting the front. The leafs are what give our trucks the lift in the rear.

    Ok yeah I definitely don't want that. How much of a rear lift would I need? I see some aal with .5" lift and some with 1.5"- 2". Or is it just preference?

    Well with the icon AAL I used adds about 1.5 inches. Deaver seems to be 1.5 to 2 inches. I’ll be honest, im don’t have as much knowledge as others on here, so this is just my bit. If you haven’t though, check out headstrong off-road. They’re online so you can check out the different AAL they have, or simply PM them on here, and Marie will answer every question you have.

    You can set your fronts height via Circlip in the appropriate groove on the shock body. Search "Bilstein 5100 clip settings" should bring up plenty of info. Then just pair up with an AAL package to achieve the stance your looking for.
