Windows tinted, leveling lift next, 5100’s???

[DeltaWhiskey]

Curious to hear from those who have done the 5100’s alone for leveling and were pleased with the outcome. I’m also not opposed to a 2.5” lift level kit but it will require side steps of some kind (wife is 5’2), and I won’t be changing tires/wheels for awhile.

Had my Wildpeak AT3W 265’s installed today, bought them on Jan. 22nd for $90.15 each on a Walmart price match. First 100 miles I’m shocked how smooth and quiet they are, and the look is way more appropriate for an off road model. Anxious to get my lift installed and get out on some trails

Saw your posting above in another thread - updates sure look great!

Have you addressed the leveling/rake yet?

If so, what route did you go?

Thanks!
I have the Eibach Pro Lift in my garage waiting for some better weather to get installed. The suspension is stock in the photo, but it looks level in this pic. My driveway is inclined and the wheel wells are dark which may be skewing the perspective a bit. I really like the AT3W tires so far, and they give a great look to the truck. I also have a set of Spidertrax spacers that will likely go on when the lift is installed.

Can you update us on the tires? Those are a looking tire for a really good price. I'm curious how they hold up with mileage.

I certainly plan on it, hoping to get some life out of them for sure.

I've had my 5100's for a few weeks now and so far im loving them. I lifted the front 1.75 and kept the rear stock height. Ride is much nicer all around and off road they perform great too compared to stock shocks.

It's nice not having mushy suspension anymore.

Sure looks good - please keep us updated here!

Curious what made you go w/ the Eibach Pro Lift and 265s. Are you concerned the tires may appear too small after a 3” lift?

Not to hijack the OPs thread, but could you share some pics of yours? Leaning toward the Bilstein set at either .85 or 1.75. I’m planning to run the Wildpeaks in factory size too.

Actually no, the price on the lift and the reputation/warranty sold me on the kit. The tires "look" bigger than the dunlops the truck came with, and they measured a hair under 32" in my driveway. The kit is a 2.75" front and 1" rear. I also have the spidertrax spacers should I choose to install them, and this lift gives me the option of going with bigger tires later on. I'm currently at ~9,500 miles on a 125,000 mile platinum VSA. Plenty of time to change it up over the lifetime of this vehicle ]

Awesome - really look forward to seeing some pics after the lift install!

At the 10,000 mile mark, I put Bilstein 5100s all around(front set at 0.85") and stock size BFG ATs load range C. I sold my factory tires with 10,000 miles for $350.

I love the looks of it. I wanted to keep the factory ride and gas mileage. This checked all my boxes.
