    Can someone plz help me. I'm wanting to pull the trigger here in a week or so. I'm wanting a leveling kit that will give me a little lean with front end being a little higher than the rear and is fairly in expensive. I don't want to do the 5100s because I have to max them out to achieve this look. Correct me if I'm wrong. I also want to do blocks instead or aal's in the rear. Thanks for y'all's help.

    Want some lean. Not look stupid though. And not have to spend a lot or run into suspension problems. Don't off-road, just strictly looks

    Wat about blocks in the rear? And where is the best place to get these springs? Expensive to install?

    2.5" will get me the little bit of Cali without anything added in the rear correct? Will my stock shocks be fine if I add the coil springs?

    If your just wanting to level it then try the bilstein 5100 adjsutables.

    but I don't want them to be maxed out for the look I want. It will be a rougher ride I am sure?

    3" lift EIBACH coils w/ 5100's front, OME/ Dakar leaf springs w/ toytec adjustable shackles at 1.5" and 5125's out back. 33x10.5x15 KM2's Relentless DIY steel bumper.
    At the 2.5" mark they will be maxed out and ride fairly stiff. But at the 1.75" mark I'VE READ that they ride fine. I don't have experience with adjusting the 5100's past the stock coil seat setting, but I do run them on my truck. But from the research I've done on both 1st and 2nd gen setups the 5100's ride better than a spacer any day. If your wanting to not take apart the Coilover setup then you could add a small top plate spacer which I've also read is not a bad ride. If you get a top ate spacer any bigger than 1/4" then you'll need to extend the top plate bolts which requires taking apart the coil setup. There are 1/4", 1/2", and 3/4" top plate spacers. Remember that your lift height is double the size of the spacer.

    Thanks for your help! If I just do the adjustables at 1.75" will I achieve the look I want (a little cali)? I dont want to do 2.5" and be maxed with a rough ride

    The same shit everyone else has.
    My 5100s are set at 1.75 with OEM Off Road springs and they ride fine. The front end feels ALOT tighter than it did with the stock Bilsteins.

    3in pro comp spacer up front...2in add a leaf in the rear and just upsized to 17'' mb tko's with 265/70/17 cooper atp's. My kit rides stiff as all get out compared to stock and i feel like my front shocks are maxxed out! Im upgrading my shocks to pro comp pro runners. Highly suggested if your going with the spacer. I will let you know if it improves ride quality as far as the front.
