    Hey man if you need a hand shoot me a PM im right down the road from you and done many of lifts. I Have the eibachs and 5100's on mine and right at 3 1/4" lift up front and about 3 1/2" out back with custom built leafs which didnt cost me as much as an aal would and i have a whole new leaf pack basically which rides a shit ton better than the aal i had before. If you plan to add a ton of weight to you truck and wheel it then i would go with the eibach and 5100's but if your just making a street queen id do the OME as ive heard they ride better than the eibachs

    Thanks for the advice man. I'm looking to definitely do some 5100's in the front with those eibach springs. Who did you have do your custom made leafs? Just out of curiosity, I might look into it.

    So I read somewhere that when you add 5100's to the back and don't do any sort of AAL that you have to do some sort of modifications? Is this true? I'm looking to really only replace the rear shocks with the 5100's and not really do anything else at the moment.

    Only modification I can think of for the rear would be the BPV bracket but that's for when you lift not I'd you don't. And 5100's are good for I think stock to like 1.5" rear lift. I would wait untill you lifted the rear to get shocks so you can measure and get some 5125's in the appropriate length

    I would deffinatly reccomend doing it at some point. Well worth it and there is a noticeable difference afterwards if your rear is lifted
