    I’ve got 5100s all the way around and a 1.5” AAL in the rear. I’m looking to run new springs on the front instead of riding on the 4th clip. 4th clip runs 1.55” lift. Debating on a 1.5” spring vs 2.0” spring. I like how it looks now but worried if I get the 1.5” and it sags eventually, it will look all off. 2/1.5” set up sounds just about right.

    Dobinsons 302 says 1.6” and I’d probably run either Dob or OME 2” spring.

    Any thoughts?

    My truck rides buttery smooth on the 5th clip driver side and 4th clip passenger side stock coils. Have you tried the stock coils at a higher setting yet? 5100s are so interesting as there’s so much conflicting advice regarding the coils and ride quality. My vote is try the stock coils out first and see how you like it!
