    I'm on the 5th setting on stock coils for over a year, no issues, no alignment issues, rides better now than with stock sport shocks. In fact j just did the same lift on my son's 18 dcsb.

    I think your truck is not listed on the instruction warning. I have a 2017 TRD sport access cab 4x4. I cant run the 5th notch on that right? I just received my 5100 front and rear and deciding weather to do 4 notch with no aal or getting ome 885 with an aal

    Run it on the 4th notch and a 1 inch rear block, 1/4 shim on the drivers side and it will be perfect. You don't need new coils. The Sport springs are a 700lbs spring which I think is the same as the with all sports.

    SSO hybrid bumper, Warn winch, RCI skid trilogy, RRW sliders, everything in the cheap/free mods thread, and of course the frame recall work.
    I did the 5100s with stock coils and OME AAL in rear. The front sagged after a few months so I have a 2.25" rake. I do have a SSO hybrid bumper, Warn winch, and RCI aluminum skid triology so it's not exactly stock weight.

    You should be good. I'm replacing the fronts with the ToyTec aluma series Boos coilovers to get it leveled back out and handling the weight.

    Asking for friend.

    He has '21 TRD SPORT DCSB 6MT.

    What does he need to get for Bilstein 5100 setup with Stock coils? His goal is to stay at Notch 2 which is 0.65". What about the rear? Does he need AAL or leave it alone?

    Thank you

    There is about 1" difference between front and rear on the stock.
    0.65" will bring close to a level.
    If you go AAL, you need to select a higher setting
