    has anyone ever just put the 5100's on the front to level out the truck ? I am not sure I want to mess to much with the ride. but would like a slightly larger tire and a level ride..

    Yes the clip is at lowest setting on the bilsteins. He purchased 5100's in the back and leaf pack he might have to adjust the front.

    I have a 13 Sport and did 5100s on the front only with stock springs at the 1.75 setting and it sits perfectly level and no complaints.

    My AC was super bro leaned at 1.75. Fortunately I have ride rite air bags, so I just pump them up to level as needed. This ate my stock shocks, but feels nice with the new N182s.

    Second setting (.85) for 3 leaf OEM pack. Third setting (1.75) for 4 leaf OEM pack.

    Generally.

    Measure your own truck from center of hub to fender and see what your height difference is, then go with what makes sense for you. You can get more lift or less lift with these settings, FYI. They're ballpark figures.

    never weighed it. It's a Warn x8000i with 3/8 wire rope on an external carrier. Maybe I don't lose a full half, but it's enough to notice just looking at the truck. My needle bearing hums like a mofo too when the winch is on :D
