    I know I should start a build page but I thought I would post this just in case people wanted to see some pics of the 5100s at different levels on my truck (and to show it off since I'm in love with it all over again:D).

    5100s set at 1.75. Rode great this way, no complaints.

    Then hit a deer and got a trail gear front bumper and had the shop paint it mag gray. Then found a really good deal on some 285s so moved the 5100s to 2.5 and put a 1.5 block in the back ( I know people say they suck ). The ride is still fine on the highway, smooth as butter. Off road it is a little stiff though and kind of jars my teeth out sometimes on washboard type stuff if I hit it too fast.

    So there ya go, just thought maybe this could help someone who is doing some searching and is curious.

    Looks a lot like my build. how much was that front bumper?

    It was $489 at low range offroad plus around $65 shipping so not bad. And O yea I love them bulldogs! I'll be there watching them play Arkansas Saturday.
