    I have mine set on the middle setting,it sets pretty level now with the 5125 in the rear...make sure and have your front
    alignment checked after you install them.

    Are 5125 good for the rear if I don't plan to lift it??? I have one tire off and am ready to replace them...

    I run the 5125 on mine and the rear is stock, no lift,with no problems....i did however run a lift on the rear last year is the only reason i bought the 5125..I checked with wheelers off road where i bought mine from,and they said they would be fine with no lift.

    Well I put them on and will post pics soon. Got a good lift upfront 2.5 setting. Now my rear is slightly lower than front by about .5 inches. What has everybody else done? Will it settle?

    So how did the suspension turn out? Going through the same circles myself. One of my buddies was recommending the Ranch quick lift shocks.

    Truck is riding so much better...outside of the .5 inch difference the Bilstein shocks are great.... Now time for some new wheels and tires.. and new bumper

    I am about to do the same set up as you and can't decide if I should do the top or middle setting.
