    Even though Konig makes the wheels, the only place that sells them is JLB Motorsports.

    Do you have the 5100 on front and back? Is there any drawbacks to setting the front adjustments all the way to 2.5?

    I'm guessing you'd get a bit harsher ride than compared to the lowest setting.

    So if you get the billies all the way around and want to max out the front, the back will still need blocks or AAL to compensate???

    I just ordered the toytec OME 885 leveling kit with the rear AAL's but I got 5100's for the front and rear. Oh and johnny12345, yeah you will still need blocks or AAL's for the rear if you want your truck to sit level and not have the front looking like its chins up.
