Funny people whining about the ride being stiff. The only thing i didnt like about these trucks is how sloppy the handling is. But i knew i would b changing that

I had about 2.10" over stock in front
I have the 5o and it is supposed to increase lift not really down travel because everything is staying factory.

My set up is exactly like this. It's on order. 5100's in the back too. Not sure how many of you throw them in the back too

Who is whining about stiff ride. He asked the quality. The suspension is maxed obviously going to be stiff
The handling all across the board was **** with the 5100s cranked to the max that's why I chose to do a full 4" suspension lift and get everything back to factory geometry and wow it made a great deal of difference

Not whining but informing bud.

I didnt mean u personally. Most threads on these 5100s, people say there stiff on anything but stock hieght. I want a stiffened ride so these are exactly what i want. Just wanted info on offroading with them. 4 inch is to much for me rite now. The truck is only 5 months old, if i had 4inch i would most likely get myself into some serious trouble.
