    Thanks for the input. I kind of figured the same thing. If it ain't broke don't fix it, but the idea of having upgraded shocks in the front but not rear is kinda ghetto to me. Esp since its only like an extra 120 buckz

    I have 5100s in all four corners on stock TRD coils with the fronts set at 2.5" and love the ride!!! It felt a little more solid at first but after a day of driving, I can't tell the difference now from the stock ride. I went with the rears because they are valved for the stiffer AAL. Again, I am very pleased with the ride and 99% of my miles are asphalt. I also called Down South Motorsports and was told you can't notice a ride difference between the 1.75 or 2.5 setting.
