    A coworker has the 3 leaf pack + 1" block, 5100's set to 2.5", and 265/75/16's. There is quite a bit of clearance with that setup-enough it looks big enough to clear 285's and looks a little much to me. When I get 5100's and 265/75's, I'm just doing 1.75", and keeping the nose down slightly.

    Bit premature- My TSB=No vibes. My AAL =No vibes.

    It's very case by case.

    i been debating all this as well...i'm thinking for now get the 5100s and put at 1.75" and leave the rear end alone...the nose will be down a hair but i think that looks good...just don't want the nose in the air if im hauling my atv or something...not sure how it will be with a load in the back.....can always go up to 2.5" and aal or block later down the road if needed...if i do this 5100s lift i'll wait til i get new tires 265/75/16...right now i have 265/70/16....

    i'm hearing the 5100s with stock springs the ride is harsh....people saying use eibach 1.6" springs and set the billy's to .85 is much smoother ride

    Not sure how that is possible as the Eibachs are 620# spring. Then by compressing the 5100 you are making the ride harsher. I would think it would be the other way around.

    No option for 2.5" with stock TSB, no AAL CRAP. I've been running it for 2 years, sits perfectly level, handles great,
