    Hey all! Recently I got a good deal on some 5100s and they came with 3rd gen top hats and coils, just wondering if someone was running something like this on their truck and which notch. The previous owner said it gave hime 2 and 1/4 " of lift (3rd notch) , so given that the 3rd gen stock coils give you 1 inch, I'm thinking i should go down to at least the 2nd notch, maybe 1st ?

    I'm running the same thing on the bottom notch as I was not looking for a huge lift. The higher you go, the worse the CV angles become.
    And I bought an icon three leaf progressive AAL for the rears. I do like the way it rides.
