    Yeah i have run the tank trails alot but have had some close calls with the wardens and hard to find others who want to go on base to do anything on Libo, lol. I live off rocky run. Yeah she is a little angle as long as she is changed and fed, the rest of the time you hope she gets tired soon.

    yeah not sure about wheeling down there. but before i leave the east coast if it gets nice again. i might want to go down there and rent some wave runners again and jump waves in the ICW. that was a blast last time i did it.

    Be happy to do so. Only real "special" tool would be a spring compressor. You can use one of the rentals if you want, but YOU'RE usin' it. Better to take the shocks and coils to a shop and have them use a floor or wall mounted compressor to assemble your C/Os for you.

    As for the 2" lift, you'll need either a longer or higher rate coilspring to go with your 5100s up front. You could do a spacer lift, but they're horrible.

    For the rear, just do a 2" Add a leaf.

    I've got Wheelers 1.5" 3 leaf AAL, paired with my OME 886x up front. The 1.5" should do fine for you. Could also look into doing the OMD leaf mod.

    Looking at getting this kit question is, do i still need the diff drop if only wanting to go with 2" lift? I know i won't need the top plate spacers.... Any negative effects of going 2"?

    Looks like you won't. Nothing wrong with 2",though you may or may not get vibes (that's said for any lift).
