Does it have a good factory ride still? Also, did you install a differential drop? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on this same set up. Thanks

No rub forward; slight rub at full lock in reverse. Still haven’t trimmed anything tho.... It’s a pretty easy work around if you remember it’s going to happen. For me, the 1.75 front/1 inch rear is perfect for STOCK SIZED TIRES... I wanted to stay with stock size for now. If I were going to mount up 285s, then I’d do the highest setting up front with 1.5 in the back. My truck looks just a hint better than stock, and that’s how I wanted it. Got rid of a little of the factory rake; and much nicer stance (with the Spidertrax). No diff drop on my setup.
EDIT: The ride is definitely different on 5100s at all corners and the spacers in the rear. Some of it is good/better; some of it is a bit annoying. Overall, I’ll take the improvements over the annoyances. Improvements - stiffer/sportier ride, WAY LESS nose dive under braking... just overall a good, firm ride. Annoyances - over rough roads, can get a little “choppy” so to speak... Here in DFW, we have a ton of construction and potholes, so it can get old. But I’d still take it over stock suspension any day.
