My stock shocks about killed me when we drove them off road. Turns out they were bad.

I put the 5100's on my truck. Much better. My truck handles better all around. At highway speeds, taking corners on winding roads doesn't result in that rolling action, etc. I am pleased with the purchase with them on my truck.

Based on my past experience with Rancho 9000XL on my 02 FX4, it was much improved ride overall over stock and I'm sold on them. I'm putting the QL on mine next summer. I got 35K on mine and it's still early to replace them yet. I'm sure Bilstein 5100 is awesome as well, yet I have no experience with them. I prefer tad bit soft ride unloaded.

so the quicklifts are they 2.5 inches in the front or 2? or can you choose? ranchos website says 2.5, then on 4 wheel parts it looks like theres some that are 1.5 inch or 2 inch.

whats the verdict on the 3 inch rear blocks? do they cause axle wrap and stuff? i dont see how they can be so horrible, i read lots of negative things about them. but when you get a high dollar rancho lift, they give you lift blocks for the rear, so they cant be that bad at causing wheel hop and flattening out leafs, ect. are they okay to run? if i could raise my back end an inch or so, that would be great, then i could do a 2.5 inch level in the front
