    You could get new springs for the front, I got Old man emu 2887 set at .0 For the rear you could either do a 2 inch block spacer or aal like I did I got pro comp 1.5-2” long aal and add in longer U bolts. Drop differential for the front. That’s about it I also bought new top hats for the front struts

    Pretty sure 5100s for second gens lift up to 2.5" no?
    Go with a progressive add a leaf for the rear.

    You could add a 1/4 top spacer if you need that extra lift

    Right, so 5100s alone go up to 2.5" correct?

    I just said progressive aal as its a more compliant ride, do it once and forget it.
    Had a single, back end still bucked on expansion joints and such. Went progressive, and no more bucking over bumps loaded or unloaded bed.
