Four of the 5100's (with only the factory height and 2" setting) from topguncustomz.com is $389 shipped I think.
Technically there is probably nothing wrong with mixing the shocks but it will look funny having a shiny shock up front and a blue/yellow shock out back.
Originally I wanted a set of 4 with the front having the settings of 0-1" and 2".
I found the front 3 position shock but they didn't have a part number for the rear 5100.

Then after research I found out the HD is a tad softer than the 5100 and I considered putting it on the rear instead of the firmer 5100 but I didn't know if there are any unintended or unplanned consequences to different types of shocks in the front and rear.

A pair of 5100's for the front are $50 more than the HD's and I assumed the rears were also more but they are the same price for rear HD or 5100's shocks.
I have seen 3 different sets of front shock part numbers and 2 different PN for the rear 5100.

Since I posted someone showed me some photos of their shock with a good number so I will end up going with a set of (4) 5100's
