    Scoured threads for weeks regarding 5100 settings and AALs.....2.7 5 speed rode wonderfully to 71k and it was time for the move.....went with 1.75 setting and left overload leaf in under DSM’s 1.5” ICON AAL....I got 2” lift across entire platform and the factory rake is fully maintained....am fairly sure if i hadn’t kept overload in I would have been near level....looking fwd to flexing the set-up this weekend on some ruts and seeing how well it performs....street driving is smooth with no vibrations and I could t be happier.....CV angles are way less than I figured for 1.75 setting and I see no reason to add front diff drop-kit.....thanks to all that post and reference....

    bump to ask how people are figuring out which coil to get (Eibach vs OME, etc.) regarding brand and model,
    such as OME 884 vs 885, etc.
    I plugged in make/model on OME's website product selector and for a no-armor stock truck they recommended 885's
