    Yes, getting the 5100's and setting @ 1.75 will give you a mild lift and not mess up other components. Get your rear TSB also. The higher you lift the more you pay to correct everything back to acceptable specs. If I am wrong please educate me.

    im at 2.5" and glad i didn't go with 1.75". i felt as though it would have been a waste not to go 2.5". my caster is not within spec but haven't noticed any wandering and i don't plan on getting uca's. truck is perfectly level.

    How much lift will you get with 5100s set at .85 and the eibach springs? How will the ride be with this set-up?

    It is recommended that you keep the 5100's at zero and not change it with Eibach or OME springs.
