    If you want a soft ride, don't lift it. I'd suggest 5100s set at stock height with OEM coils. A stock leaf pack in the rear (blocks make it ride like crap and an AAL will make it hard) with 5100s in the rear too. Also a set of P rated tires. As said above michelins will probably give u the softest ride.

    How did you lift rear? Check leafs for negative arch? My reg cab rides smooth with goodrich m/s and monroe sensatrac shocks. Never got 5100's so don't know that ride. Michelin ltx used to be great. They quit making stock 15's.
