    I just installed 5100s and coils from a 3rd gen. I got 1" set at the lowest setting.
    I got Icon 3 leaf progressive AALs knowing it's was gonna squat, which it does. It should give me 1 1/2" installed with the overload leaf removed from what I've read.

    let me know how that works out? That sounds like that way to go! I already have a 1in lift from the 2017 OR struts, so i just want that rake again

    I used the Eibach front springs and Icon AAL kit. This gave me about 1.5" all around while retaining the factory rake. It's a very mild lift that added just enough while not going too high to cause more wear and tear on other components and no dreadful driveline vibrations.

    I'm hoping for that when all is said and done here.
