    Interesting. I've not seen that one before. Any pics of it on your truck?

    I know headstrong off road has the Bilstein package kit with the AAL so do I just tell whoever is doing my install to install that also? Or do o take anything off?

    If the shop you have install it is experienced in doing lifts they will know what to do. They removed the "overload" from my springs when they added the AAL. Some folks leave the overload, which makes it a bit stiffer and adds more lift. Depends how much rake you want.

    Im currently trying to lift my truck just a bit and level it out. From what I've heard that set will do the trick.

    You could always add the coils up front with the 5100s all around and see if it levels your truck. If your front ends up higher than rear, add the AALs later.

    I'm so dumb, coils only go on the front right haha? Okay, just change shocks and coils all around. What does the extra AAL do?

    The coils only go on front. The 5100s do not lift the rear. If you want any additional lift on the rear you need the AAL.

    Thank you so much for the help. I'm gonna go with the 5100s all around or maybe wait for the new 2016 Bilsteins. And 885 coils all around I believe. I'm not sure about the 887s which I've been recommended also.

    I would love to see this too. I've got a Prinsu rack and have been shopping for a more minimal light bar for a while now. I like how stealthy this one looks.

    For all of the guys that have a double row in the lower valence.... are you able to adjust it for angle at all, or is it a really tight fit? I plan on getting the Rigid E2 30" combo and putting it behind the lower valence ( I don't want to cut my new truck) but am unsure on how the fit is in regards to getting the appropriate angle for the light.

    If you're talking about the stealth mounted option, then yes, you can adjust the light quite a bit. The apex mounts that I have allow you to adjust the brackets up and down and then you can adjust the angle of the light itself also!
