    Whats the difference between the two? Ordering shocks tomorrow to get the job done this weekend. Went on Wheeler's and saw these two. Don't really know the difference. Thanks!

    I have 5125s in the rear and if I were to to it again, I'd have gotten the 5100s as I knew I was going to lift a little later. The 5125s are stiff, and with how soft I've made the front (880s w/ 5100s), its very un-balanced. That can be a pro though if you carry a load in the back often. The 5125s should help give the rear handling confidence. When I carry a load in the back, it hardly feels like there is weight back there vs the OE billies, I could feel it.
