    Hey guys I'm fixing to lift my truck some more and have been searching around forever but wanted to ask a few quick questions to make sure everything is right before I pull the trigger.

    I have a 2013 dcsb tss 4x4. I currently have 5100s in the front set at 1.75 to level which I installed myself. I want to stay under 3 inches to see if I can get by without UCAs. I don't "wheel" but my truck does see a lot of dirt roads and mud holes since I hunt a lot but everything is pretty flat here in the sip. I also just put on a trail gear front bumper which is around 100lbs and hope to add a winch when funds allow. Questions

    1. Should I get 885 coils since I have the front bumper? Also should I keep the 5100s on the lowest setting or .85?

    2. For the back I was thinking AAL (gotta be frugal here, just got married) so 1.5" or 2"? Also I'm running stock rear shocks, can they handle this for a while or is it absolutely necessary I replace them when I lift as well? Thanks guys.

    1. Suggest getting the 886's with OME shocks. Some people on here are running 886's with 5100's but I can't say that I recommend using a coil and shock that are not designed to work TOGETHER.

    2. First, congrats on getting married. I would get Wheeler's HD progressive leaf pack. The best option is to completely replace the leaf pack, but you mentioned budget. While the progressive leaf pack is not as good as replacing the full pack, it is MUCH better than the AAL. Here the link:

    Honestly if you are on a tight budget and just got married it wouldn't be a terrible idea to wait for a little and save up.

    If you are going to do it go with the progressive 3 leaf pack, I have Icons and love it. You will need new rear shocks, downsouthmotorsports.com has the best deals ive found

    Looks good man, that's what I'm going for as well. I just took my nerf bars off too, I like the look.
