    I want to do a small lift to my 2019 off road. Basically a step above a spacer lift while I recover funds from binge drinking and ordering 2 full sets of wheels. So I'm thinking 5100s all the way around with an AAL in the rear. I want to maintain the factory rake because I tow a lot in the summer months.

    I have no additional weight on the truck except for my above average fat ass. My truck is a DD so I want to maintain some semblance of ride quality. I only do mild off roading.

    Should I just reuse the factory off road coils and preload the billies? Or am I better off getting longer coils and using the 0 notch on the 5100s? I am aiming for 1.5 to 2 inches of lift. If I get better ride quality with aftermarket coils I'll go that way, but which coils? I keep reading about OME coils sagging badly, what about Eibach or the Wheelers Offroad branded coils?

    Eibach are guaranteed not to sag.

    Will the rear shocks in your pro kit support a 2" lift or should I get something different?
