    I do want Stock height, I thought I might need an AAL for leveling purposes. Seems like the eibach coils are out. I see people talking about the OME 880 that give stock height. Is it worth it to replace the stock coils with these?

    Thanks for the help guys, a real noob when it comes to these things.

    I went ahead and added the OME 880 coils to my order, figured if Im going to do this I should do it right. Another question, is there an aftermarket leaf spring pack that doesnt add any lift and would work with the 5125's in the rear?

    My 5100/5125's were delivered last week. The weather's been cold and wet here in Houston so they are still in the box waiting on the sun to come out. I'm staying with the stock height as well.:D

    I dont believe these add any lift.
