    I have Bilsteins set at 2.5" with an 1.5" AAL with NO vibes! All I can say that it was installed by myself and a couple other TW guys that must have known what they were doing :)

    Heres my quick question. Anyone who has the front's set at 2.5", do you have plenty of travel left in them? I'm just asking because my street has a BUNCH of potholes and seriously needs re-paving lol, and going over those holes on the stock TRD shocks is fine, i just don't want to spend the cash to get them installed at 2.5" and then hate it because i'm getting jerked around anytime i go over a pebble faster than 5 mph :D

    Nearly 8 months on the 5100's at 1.75 setting with just a TSB in the back. Truck rides great and I get no vibes at all. Recently took it on a 10hr trip to the beach. Not a single complaint with ride quality or vibes (and I'm sure my pregnant wife would've told me if there were).

    The lift is subtle but it makes the truck look much more like a truck should. And the slightly bigger tires finish it off.

    How's your MPG since doing the 1.75" lift?

    I did not test it during the two weeks I was still on my stock tires. I now have the Revo 2's and get slightly less (1mpg maybe). But they are more aggressive tires are slightly bigger (which also changes recorded distances - which effects mpg calculations).

    I don't think a lift of 1.75" in the front is going to change MPG to a noticeable or even traceable degree.

    No option for mine but I have the TSB no 5100s yet, and yes I have the dreaded vibrations between 55-65mph. Even more pronounced now that I just added new wheels and tires.
