My 2013 SCREW Lariat 2WD. 2.5” front level (front end spacers). I also shined her up while waiting for the rear fender flares to come back from the shop. Had an unfortunate rubbing incident at the shopping center parking lot. Next up are larger tires, either Nitto Grappler or BFG KO2.


Nice shine on a sunny texas day



2.5” front end level. Worn out original tires ready for something a little larger



Fenders being repaired

I'm considering a 1.5" AAL but do not want any issues of my shock being over extended or whatnot.

I believe Bilstein offers a 0-2" lift variation for most trucks. I would go with those if adding the 1.5" AAL

online. eBay, search on here for paramount raptor style grill. There is a couple threads.

I really don't wanna have to buy new shocks as these have 5-6k kms on them. I coulda sworn I read an inch more in the rear is fine.

I was under the impression that any rear shock should be fine with up to a 3” block (or ~1.75 inch lift). I’m running 2.5” rear blocks with Rancho RS9000s without issue.

M0rris, an inch extra over stock is fine for the 5100s. That's what my Bilsteins say and if you look them up you'll see the same. I read you wanted an extra 1.5". A half inch isn't a whole lot. I would jack up your truck from the frame so the rear tires stay on the ground and you'll see how much more travel the shock has when it isn't compressed, and decide from there if you're comfortable with it. I highly doubt that extra .5" is going to do much, if anything at all
