1st Gen lift question

So much info here! I just need some direction please.

I need new F&R shocks, and rear springs. I'm interested raising the overall height of my truck. I've considered the OME kit, but am a little gun shy with that big of a lift and chasing vibrations, UCA issues etc.

I'm thinking of getting 5100's in front set at 1.75 along with a new standard rear pack from either General Spring or Wheeler's. I think the Dakar will be too high and too rough.

I would think this would "level" my truck and give it a little more lift without breaking the bank.

I realize 5100's preload the spring much like a spacer lift, but for the amount of "offroading" I don't think it will be too much of an issue.

Any thoughts or feedback on my plan?

 

I say that's a good plan. I ran that combo for awhile back in the day and I liked it.

 

I just looked on wheeler's site at the 5100's. It states they are adjustable in 3 settings 0, 1.25 and 2.5 not 1.75. Makes me wonder if 1.25 would even be noticeable?

 

In a similar boat, my 98 rear leafs are done and might as well do everything right?

Right now I'm thinking:
Front - 5100s and OME 881's
Rear - 5100 (or 5125s???) and the HD 4 leaf pack from General Spring. I have a ~150lb camper shell back there so hoping I can stay level with all of this.

Only thing I am contemplating is going 5125 in the rear. I've read they're a little longer?
