    So I was thinking about putting on this set up to level out the truck. Are any of you guys running it? if so, does it get rid of the rake up front and hows the ride quality?

    Lots of people running 5100s and 887s and seem to be happy with them.

    3rd gen 5100's aren't recommended with 886s. That's not to say it won't work though. About a month ago, I was searching for info on running 5100s with 886s, since I already have a set of 5100s. I couldn't find any useful info. I called Marie at Headstrong and after she explained why, I ended up getting Nitrochargers and 886s. It's collecting dust in my garage until I get a chance to install. I guess I'll just sell my 5100s.

    The 886 has a higher spring rate and will give you a very stiff ride if you don’t have added weight (bumper, skids, sliders, etc.)

    I might be interested!

    Man I got 2 local guys asking me almost every day if I swapped them out yet. Lol

    I probably won't have time to do it until around February. I'm drowning at work right now.
