    2020 Super White SR DCSB
    My truck: 2020 DCSB has about 450 lbs of armor and winch installed including skid plates under engine, transmission, cats and transfer case, steel front bumper and 12k winch and rock sliders. The truck has 63K miles right now. The bumper, winch and sliders were just added within the last few weeks.

    I'm currently on 5100 shocks all around with stock coils, shocks set at 4th notch on front and running stock leaf springs. When I installed the Bilstein's, I had 9k miles on the truck, no armor or added weight and it raised the front perfectly to where it was 1/4" lower in front than the rear.

    I want to replace the coils with OME 885 and new 5100 shocks. Reading about this and the recommendation for keeping the shock at the lowest setting, what can I realistically expect from this set up as far as leveling the front back to where is was before adding the weight? The way it rides now, I'm looking to lift the front by an inch as that will level out the truck. The 885 coils on 5100 shocks states an approximate lift of 1.75", assuming this does not include any added weight on the vehicle.

    For what I'm looking to achieve, will the 5100 and 885 coils do the job and level the truck with the added weight?
