Love the way your truck sits with those bfg’s. Looking to do the exact same setup as you with the 6112’s up front and 5160’s out back. Be sure to let us know how the coilovers feel once you get them on! Glad to hear the 5160’s are treating you well. Thanks

Anyone have any more feedback on these since they have been out longer? I'm trying to decide between the 5160s and 5100s. I'm not sold that I need whatever increased capability the 5160s give me, but I don't want to be sorry either.
I like to get out and explore logging roads, so I deal with a fair amount of washboard. I am assuming the remote reservoir would allow the shock to handle the constant bouncing better than the 5100s. Anything else I should keep in mind?
The real reason for looking at them now is I just got a travel trailer. I was thinking I need something to help the ride, but I don't think airbags are the answer because the truck sits level; I just want to reduce the front to back rocking I notice if I can. Airbags might be coming down the road eventually anyway, especially if I change the front to level it out a little more when empty.
