More pics please, I’m about to do either the same or go 2.5” front and 1.5” rear. Looks great but would love to see it from the sides.

I'll post more pics 2mro and get the wheel well measurements once the weather clears up! (rainy and dark in MD today). I think you'll love the 5100s.
 
I installed the Rago modular storage panel shelf. I got it done just before the sun went down. I installed it all the way up. I had a little help from my dad at the end of it to help me tighten up the nuts faster. So far so good. It seems solid enough. Not too noisy when driving but there is a bit on more substantial bumps. Rear view mirror visibility is 99% unaffected. There's maybe a sliver at the very top that gets blocked, but it's fine. It was the "blemished" sale one, and it looks fine. There was maybe a little bit of scuffing on the powder coat on the plates that go on the front end of the truck. I was more upset that I put a little ding in the ceiling when one of those plates slipped and swung upwards while I was holding it up, but I'll get over it.

 
Bilstein 5100s with stock springs set to 1.75" front. Cornfed 1" spacer in rear with stock rear shocks and springs. Rear 5100s on order.

Took about 4 hours in the garage, solo. First time installing a lift. Very happy with the stance now! I really wanted to keep a slight forward rake and this nailed it [emoji108]

More pics of the 5100s with 285 KO2s on FN f(x) pro wheels. Front is set to 1.75 and I've got a 1" spring lift in rear.

I spent a week in the Mojave National Preserve and came home to find that my right front coilover was losing oil. Took both coilovers to nearby Radflo on Tuesday for a rebuild and got them back today. Both are now reinstalled and riding well.

Months prior to discovering the leak I thought I had heard a rapid clunk when driving over uneven surfaces. Makes me wonder if the nitrogen had already escaped.

yeah, the "thump" meant that your shocks were blown. I did moab and mojave with a blown front passenger shock. Needless to say, I got my shocks rebuilt after mojave too. Nothing technical about mojave, but it sure does test your suspension. and anything broken, will be very apparent.

Also, if I were you. I would tighten all your bolts on your armor (if you have any), and your rear lower trailing arms and upper links.

Mojave is notorious for loosening armor and suspension bolts/nuts. Even if you didn't lose any bolts on the trail, it might be loose enough that you will lose them eventually.
