Just got truck back from shop last night- removed 2" AS spacers in exchange for 5100's. Wow!
Was orginally concerned about the ride based on what some folks have complained about... no complaints here! Much better ride and fourth setting brought truck to perfect level, rather than the touch nose high I had with the AS spacers.
Also added 295/70/18 Cooper ST Maxx a few weeks ago, which ride a million times better than the 275/70 General Grabber AT2's I had on it before.

Happy guy here!
I'm adding 5100s next week. Can you show some pictures of your level and wheels? Trying to decide what tires to go with. Stock wheels?
I agree kraven you have to go slow on the decent, if not it's super harsh.
Riddler I'm running my setup as described in my signature.
I've posted pics in my build thread and the "lets see your leveled truck" thread. I'll post another pic as I have no problem whoring my truck.
The front is 1/4" higher but might have settled a little since I had them installed
The only time I notice the difference is when I have stuff loaded in the bed.

I'll get some pictures up tonight. Stock 18" machines aluminum Lariat wheels with 295/70r18 Cooper ST Maxx. Based on what everyone said, I did the 5100's on all four corners. Thought about a taller block in the back, for the two months out of the year I've got my boat or four wheeler on a trailer behind me. Perfectly level now at the fourth setting, may add blocks later just to compensate for the sag.
Ride is damn near close to the factory suspension and tire setup. I feel like the 5100's are tuned perfectly for a 10 ply tire. I felt everything underneath me with the factory shocks, spacers, and General AT2's. It also dove a lot in corners, damn near scary on the interstate at 70+ mph when you'd hit a bump through a turn. Haven't felt that at all since the swap.
