    I’m sure there is a thread I’m missing to post this. Apologies in advance. Looking to do a lift. Don’t really ever off-road. Want to keep ride quality. 19’ CM SR5 OR

    Possible plan: 5100 on all 4 corners with .50” CB shims and CB shackles. CB recommended +3” shackles (1.75” of actual lift). Is that too much for the rear 5100s?? Are they only for 0-1”? Should I go with the +2” shackles (1.25” of lift)? Figure this plan would give me almost 3” up front and about 1” in the rear. want to keep a bit of rake for TSS sensor purposes. Don’t want to deal with diff dropping or UCA’s. This lift should avoid all that I think. I’ve heard the ride handling/ride will improve. Any help is MUCH appreciated.

    LED headlamps/fogs; interior footlamps.
    Might consider a Body lift instead of a suspension lift - it raises the center of gravity 2/3 less so cornering is much less impacted and no extra stress on suspension components because they are not moved - Luck

    Appreciate the info. Another question, do you have a lot of extra weight in the bed? I have prob 200ish extra with the DB cover, molle panels and bed mat. That’s why I was considering the. +3 also

    Did you need to do control arms?

    Yes. Anything 3 inches or higher would need them for the best adjustability during the alignment.

    Would the highest setting on 6112 (2.5”) be ok or pushing it?
