    Yes, I have more questions. Going back and forth on lift options and am starting to think 2” is all I’ll need.

    1) what will 5100s net me up front with stock coils? What setting for 2”?

    2) single AAL vs the three piece ones. Which will get me 1.5” and not sag with a load in the bed?

    1) 5100s will not net you any lift unless you preload. If they are pre-loaded to 2" it will lift the truck 2", but the ride will be very harsh.

    2) If they advertise 1.5" of lift for your truck, they will lift it 1.5". What load are you expecting to have? It is an every day load, or an occasional load that you are worried about?

    I have ~400lbs in the bed all the time and I am going to be upgrading to a leaf pack from an AAL.

    I have read a lot, probably too much.

    Both single and progressive seem to say 1.5”. What’s the advantage of one over the other?
