    I'm over 300k miles. I figured the coil springs were kinda tired by now. Found a set of 3rd gen sport coils from a member here. That gave me an inch without preloading the coils. Icon 3 leaf aal in the rear and I'm loving the ride.

    I've considered that. I just wasn’t seeing many people selling their 3rd gen coil and shocks locally except one guy who was asking too much. Did you just buy the sport coils without the shocks, if so what shocks did ya go with?

    i have the same set-up for couple yrs now too. perfect level. only issue is the slightest load or angle will give it a bro lean. and yes, its designed to work with stock coils. it even says it on the website.

    B8 5100 shock absorbers are designed as a direct fit solution for lifted trucks and SUV’s.
    This leads me to believe if I don’t want to lift the truck 5100s are not recommended

    5100 's at .85. Somewhat firmer ride, but not unpleasant.
