    I'm not happy with my 5100 in the front, no hate on the 5160s in the rear so far.

    That being said, i've only got money for the fronts right now.

    Bumper and winch will be coming shortly as well as sliders. I have a 2016 dclb and I run lots of rough roads pretty hard, typically unloaded but sometimes i'll have 3 dudes and a dead critter or 2.

    I typically to a couple 2500 mile plus loaded road trips a year hunting and its my daily as well.

    Right now im leaning pretty hard towards the 8112s with heavier springs or the fox 2.5s. But im open to other options.

    I have 600 pound springs (2nd gen TRD Pro kit) with a winch, winch bumper, IFS skid, mid skid & sliders. Recommend you get 650 lb springs or more depending on new setup up front.

    I’ll give Mobtown a slider shoutout. US Offroad a winch mount endorsement.
