Wanting to go from Revtek to 5100s

I was looking all over, but just couldn't get the answers I wanted... Please don't chew me out for asking dumb questions.

In the front could I run the 5100s with the revtek coil spacer and top plate, and what setting would I set it? (It's only temporary until I can get some eibach coils or something better)

And in the rear could I keep the rear revtek block with 5100s? (also temporary till I can get AAL or new leaf packs)

 

The rear is fine, how much lift will you lift the rear one or two?

I would ditch the coil spacer and top spacer and just set the 5100 to 1.75 if your lifting the rear one to 1.5 inches.

If lifting rear 2 inches set 5100 to 2.5 and still ditch the spacers.

If you really want to keep the spacers we need to know how much the spacers are lifting you already but most likely if you keep them set the 5100 to 0.

 

The rear for the revtek lift is advertised as 1 1/4" with the lift block. I was probably going to go with something around this height in the future for the rear, and i want to get rid of the spacers for the front, but i dont want to be leaning, wanna be level

And i do have 255/75/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers on 17x9 XDs with 4.5 backspacing so I would have to clear that and i do some off roading also

 

I'd say get ride of the spacers and set the 5100 to 1.75.

But trust me you will do it get it all done and like it then a few months will go by and you will say shit should of gone bigger. Soooo why don't ya get a rear aal and some 884s with top plate and you should sit level and right at about 3 inch of lift.

 

Yeah i wanna get the AAL for the rear, but due to funds, i have to hold off for now. so i was planning on keeping the rear block and taking out the front coil spacer and maybe keeping the top plate spacer for now.

 

So i ordered my 5100s. I got the front and rear with the longer shocks. I was informed by DSM that the revtek will not be enough lift for the rear shocks, so i would need to get a AAL + my rear block. if i take out the preload spacer, will my truck be level and what height should i adjust it to? How would I make it level with an AAL + 1 1/4 Block?

 

Im confused your gonna be running 5100's up front set at what height? And what are you running in the rear blocks and 5100's????

 

DSM said I will need an AAL on top of my 1 1/4" Block in the rear for these shocks.
In the front, I don't know yet what to run

 

What are you gonna set the front 5100's at?

 

That's why I am asking.. I'm not sure yet. What height would be sufficient for the AAL+Block?

 

Well personally i would loose the block, set the billys at 2.5 and then get the icon 3 leaf AAL and you'll be set. Blocks make the ride alot stiffer and promote axle wrap as well...

 

Yeah, thats what i wanted to do. but because i am ordering the extended billies from DSM they said I need an AAL on the Block.

 

Heres my truck (i have coilover set at 2.75 and stock leaf plus 3 leaf AAL)

 

Nice Truck!
Is that with the TSB?

 

Yes the tsb but i took the overload leaf out

 

Since i have the non TSB should I leave the overload?
and do you have the extended rear billies or the normal?

 

I would leave it in, i have the regular but i shouldve got the extended i didnt know the difference at the time and DSM didnt tell me either, right now i can out flex my shocks but i will be replacing them in the future with something better

 

Sorry for all the questions and thanks for the quick responses, but do you think I could get the extended billies on with my revtek block until I can get the Icon AAL?

 

yeah i dont see why not

 

DSM said it wouldn't fit with just my block but it is lifted, so i thought it would too
