    Only interested in selling the whole package, not parting it out sorry.

    You’d be better off in parting out since people with ORs and sports have most of the same components as a pro (uca’s, leaf springs, bushings) and dont need those parts.

    You're saying the only difference in the Pro suspension and an OR/Sport is the Fox shocks?

    The sport, or and pro use the same uca and leaf springs. The pro has an e-brake bracket to space the line away from the shock.

    That is my understanding as well.

    As an aside. I have 2020 OR coil overs, UCAs, leafs, and shocks sitting in my garage. I’m not sure what to do with them. I might save the coil overs and shocks so that I can drive my truck if and when I send my Kings in for a rebuild.

    I’m looking to do a similar lift on my ‘20 sport. Is 1.5-2" enough to fit a 255/80r17 tire? That’s the ultimate goal for me.

    Does anyone have a definitive answer on if the 5100s should be used with stock coils, or something like an OME coil?

    Ya i can see that haha. I don’t mind opinions. I just take them as data points. There’s just so much to consider for lifting a truck that you DD. It’s nuts.

    I believe you can stick those tires on stock suspension.
    Well, maybe a bit of hair dryer application....
    I have 885 on 0 setting. Got 1.8 lift. Installed a month ago and drove almost 1k. Did not sag yet

    nice on the lift! What did you do in the rear for lift? How does that setup ride? I know ride is subjective and all but compared to stock what are your likes and dislikes?

    as for the skinny 33” tires I’ve searched around but most posts are geared toward fitting 285s.

    AAl in the back.
    Drives fine. However, I'm low on miles to have a strong opinion. But it is definitely better than stock.
    I did this setup to mitigate rear sagging. So start from the back and calculate the front. This is how I selected 885.
    I would not go 285 route. This truck does not have enough stamina to roll those fatties.
    255 were my choice, but I could not find lighter tires.

    Is it beneficial when installing the eibach stage 1 "kit" w/AAL (wanting 2" lift results) to go ahead and install a diff. drop, carrier bearing drop , and shims? I realize it may not be "required", but does it help in the longrun. I inquired with "a reseller" on this since that was the planned re-seller to buy from that is recommended often, but the reply I received is making me look elsewhere for purchase.
    Thought I'd ask those that know. (here)

    I think the general rule of thumb on a 3rd gen is that a diff drop is not required, but a carrier bearing drop is. A carrier bearing drop kit is simple, cheap, and easy to install. I installed mine laying on my back holding a flashlight late at night. I had to finish the job to get home.

    Eibach is a great kit. Members on here like it. There is a thread on this kit. Will help you out. 2” in front and 1.5” aal will look perfect IMO

    Ive viewed every thread I can find to read.
    Ive read that vibration is the sign for a carrier drop install. And maybe a shim angle install.
    My rationale for a diff drop would be to help preserve the needle bearing , which I prefer to not change (yet), and cv boot.
    The shim and carrier drop are minimal cost as is the diff drop. I guess Im asking if installing would cause issues more so than alleviating potential problems.

    Every truck is different. Personally I did diff drop carrier bearing drop. My cv angles are good no vibes for this guy. I do have ecg ready if and when something goes. So far so good 10k on lift at 2”.
