    Icons front and rear at the stock setting with the Icon 1.5 AAL and 265/70 17s. Rides great now that I got a good alignment and the tires road force balanced. Overload is removed but I kind of want to put it back in. My 80lb kayak gives me bro lean right now.

    Your truck looks great. I talked to Marie at Headstrong last week, she was awesome. Just curious why you opted or the 5100s vs OME nitros? I was going back and forth between Boss and OME, but thinking more OME now.

    Are you sitting pretty level with your setup? I'm debating between a 3 leaf and dakars. I don't mind the front running a little lower since I haul a raft during the summer but don't want it to look weird when I'm not. Great setup!

    A single opinion from someone who I really admire.....who removed OME shocks from the front of his truck after experiencing a problem with them....

    And the price.....5100's meet or exceed all my requirements, have a great reputation, and they cost less....

    People choose the 5100 over the nitros because of the "over speed bump goes clank" that the nitros have.

    Yeah that aspect turned me off of them for sure, I wouldn't have been happy hearing a clank every time the front suspension was cycled

    Makes sense, didn't know that was an issue. So maybe billies all around and 885x up front is the way to go. Guessing I'd still need a spacer for the "taco lean"?

    I would say 1/2" would be a good call. I have 3/8" 0f spacers on the drivers side and there's still about 1/4" taco lean.

    Just reading some old threads, with your build did you need to lower your differential or do a carrier bearing drop?

    I know the question wasn't directed at me but I've since installed my OME kit and CB drop. If I get a chance I'll post pics later. Experiencing driveline vibes but waiting until my cap is installed tomorrow before I shim.

    It sits pretty level at 1.75, but I am considering pushing to 2.5 for clearance. Thoughts?

    How many miles to a tank are you getting with that set up? Just wondering if it's much better than what I'm getting with 285s. I get about 250 to 265 before my gas light comes on. I'm thinking about moving down to that size. Just don't know if it's worth it.

    Wow that mileage sucks. I get 18.5 to 19 with 265 70 17 c loads. Somewhere around 350 before my light comes on. Downsizing would definitely help some.
