    Have any of you guys with 5100s at 2.5 had any vibration issues or alignment issues? Those are my biggest concerns and why I'm leaning toward 1.75.

    It was recommended that after 5 days i think it was, to bring it back to torque everything back up.

    I noticed you have the exact setup I want. How is the ride compared to stock? What size tires are you running?

    @knine00:
    Can't complain really & don't notice a difference with or without the AAL. They are 305/50 on 20s which equates to 32x12, only had a minor vibe between 20-25 which I fixed by removing and reinstalling the ubolt flip.

    I can't complain about the ride at all. The ride is slightly stiffer but this was to be expected with the AAL . I have the 3 leaf pack +AAL this may be different since you have a Sport.

    I have Duratrac 285/70/17s. I drove back in storm from the mountains last night and they were great in the snow.

    The flip kit by ittself is only $50, but you can't reuse the old bump stops without modifications. I went ahead and got the timbrens, also AllPros customer service is top notch...

    So you have the 3 leaf progressive with the overload spring installed? What is your front set at? Do you have a pic you can post?

    This pic was without the overload and it was .5" higher in the rear. I'm closer to 1" rake now with the front at 3" (Toytec Coilovers). With 285 km2's I'm at 38.5" front and 39.5" rear.

    Can you explain your toytec coilovers? Bilstein w/eibach? If so, what setting? Any trimming with the 285? Thanks everyone for your help!

    Toytec coilovers are basically eibach coils with 5100s but these have an adjustable collar on the bottom for lift. Lots of trimmimg to fit 285 MTs
