    A few minor things...
    Hi all,

    I have a 2016 TRD Sport with 50k miles and my rear shocks just started to leak. I need to replace them so I figured I might as well do all 4 while the truck is up in the air.

    I've decided the budget is $1k so I'm not going crazy. This is my daily driver so I need it to be comfy on the road, but be able to tow my boat on the weekends. I think towing is what blew the shocks out... I run firestone airbags and I think the extra "spring" prematurely wore them out.

    I was looking into doing an AAL in the rear to give myself a bout a 1" lift, then the shocks decision...

    Should I look at the 6112/5160 setup? or would that be way overkill and I should just get the 5100s.

    I like the 5160s for the rear resi shocks. They'll take a lot more abuse and heat before throwing in the towel.

    I'm looking for stock ride height +1", either front will give me that.

    Any suggestions? Or is there something entirely different I should be looking at?
