New Front Shocks- Spring Compressor???

[IceNomad]

I did the 5100's in front at 3rd notch (1.75")lift, which left maybe .25 higher in rear. If you are going to have more than 100lbs in back alot then you may want it at 2nd notch .85? I have 2 dogs and now would like the back maybe 1/2" higher, not sure how? I am thinking of putting the 5100's on the back, but I don't think that will lift it any higher? Maybe those airlifts that support the springs or firmer springs? The ride is better and less bounce in front when braking.

Looks good.

The rear 5100s will not lift the back end. You need to change the rear coil/add a spacer. Also the airbags will not lift the back. The purpose of the air bags inside the coil is to provide adjustable spring rates when you are towing / carrying a heavier load in the rear. This way, you can reduce the rear sag that would occur with just a regular spring

Looks great... I have mine on the 1.75" setting but am looking for a little extra height in the back as well.

I think Im just going to suck it up till i wear out my BFG's then swap my bilsteins into the toytec ultimate kit... Now I just have to wait for another 40,000 miles on my tires

how many miles are on your AT's? I sold used AT's a few years ago on CL and made a nice return which I applied to new MT's.

Ive got about 7k on them I wouldnt be willing to sell them unless I got 800 for them... Dont see that happening

could you possibly take a more straight-ahead/level picture directly from the side so we can so how the front level relates to the back, exactly?

looks good!
