5100s and 885/887s

[Mikes3rdgen]

I did a good bit of research and also talked to the fellas at wheelers. The recommendation was 5100s with 885s or 887s for a leveled ride on a 08 with working rear RAS staying in, Anyone have any input? the gentleman said either or would give me about 1.5" up front and thats about what im looking for. This is all to replace XREAS that popped this weekend. I am pretty dead set on 5100s, Price wise.. as bad as i want to put 5160s in the back ....

I got way more than 1.5 up front using 887s.

are based on showroom ride height and according to the OME application guide 885s or 887s are for carrying between 200 and 350 extra #s on top the vehicles dry weight. 883 with some rake and 884 would have a better chance of leveling. With either you may need UCAs to get the ride/alignment right. Since the damping of the 5100 is spec'd for either OE or the bilstein b12 coils id go with the OME shocks. But not the sport models..

I listed the numbers somewhere on this forum. It was 3-3.5 though with a plate bumper on.
