    How much lift does the 5-pack claim, and how much for the aal?

    I see 1.5" for the wheelers pack. You'll want to throw that extra aal in there unless it is a huge additional lift, like more than 2". Just my .02 but have no experience with wheelers 5 pack or the aal being used. In my mind there is no such thing as too much rake, looks wise... Suspension geometry another topic but you'll be bro-leaning for sure without that aal

    I don't think the AALs are going to be necessary. I went with the 883 and the Dakars 5 pack and my rear sits a little higher than the front.

    To give you an idea, the Dakar pack (2.25" advertised lift) I put in my truck with 882 no aal:
    9ytyza8u_953b0f0845e75e41d419d43fbb8cd4ab23e8fb3e.jpg

    See the lean? Here is same setup with 1.5" lift shackle:
    sypave9e_8de1128a9011ac5ca6fa45428d762c173e5d0f1d.jpg

    Pretty much level, I think about 1/4" rake.

    Anybody have some thoughts on upgrading my gears to 4.56 on my '99 V6? Or would it be better to get a different transfer case?

    Set your 5100s at the lowest setting. They are designed for stock coils, not lift coils. As far as getting 3" of lift from the and 881s, I'm not sure. Top plate spacers will for sure be needed though.

    The 881's should give you 2.5-2.75" after they settle, 3" when they're first installed.
    Leave the billsteins on 0, otherwise you'll be a good bit over 3", which will eat up your CV's

    A 1/2" top plate spacer would put you at 3" or a hair over, but if you have skids or a aftermarket bumper you'll want the top plate spacer for the full 3".
    So really it depends on what your plans are for armor.

    The reason we're saying set the 5100's to stock is the 1st gen shocks are stock height, 1.5" over stock, and 2.5" over stock (if I remember right), and the 1.5" would bump you up to much.
