    Ride height Bilstiens 5100's Cap,
    I spoke with them yesterday, that will work just fine. I was considering it but instead, I'm getting the bilstien shocks an eibach springs up front. Also don't haul much, but sometimes have carpentry equipment in back.

    cheers

    You'll need longer shocks if you're stuffing bigger springs under there, although you may already know this. The OME Nitro's or Bilstein 5100's would work well for your application.

    Edit: If you're hauling lots of weight pretty frequently, you may find that the AAL will flatten out sooner than you'd hoped. Sounds to me like you would be best off running adjustable 5100's in front with the stock coils, and a new leaf pack in the back to handle the trailer. Sorry if this made your decision tougher haha

    Are you already running 15x8's? I thougth they would not clear the front calipers and had to use 16's.
