    so I know that. Spacer lifts aren’t the ideal way to lift your front end. So I’ve decided to go with 5100s with 887 or 888 springs up front.

    My questions is, are spacers as dangerous in the rear? Could I run 5100s all around and use a block in the rear without big concern?

    Dakars are like 500 bucks which is adding a pretty penny on my overall price. I’m shooting for 2.75 inch lift in front and 2” in rear.

    Give me some opinions on cheap rear lift options please.

    Do I need 5100’s in the rear to add a Dakar leaf pack?? Or can I add Dakar’s on stock rear?

    Dakar Leaf Pack is a complete leaf replacement. You would remove the old (stock) pack and then put in the new Dakar Leaf Pack.

    If you do not want to do a full leaf pack replacement, you could go with a single AAL (Add a leaf), or a 3 leaf progressive AAL. This is a less expensive option compared to the full leaf pack replacement. The Dakar full leaf pack replacement will give you a better overall ride (yes, this of course is subjective, as everyone has a different expectation as far as ride quality goes) vs that of the 3 leaf progressive AAL, which would be better than the single AAL.

    The Dakar Leaf Pack will get you about 2" of rear lift. I would suggest going with an extended rear shock to go with a new leaf pack like the Dakar's.
