5100's are on

Finally got the 5100s on the front, got refunded for rears becasue they were on backorder...was hoping they would overcompensate for the rake and I could put an add-a-leaf in the rear for a little extra lift but they actually leveled it exactly, front and rear is at 40 3/4"s...handling is excellent, even better than I was hoping...if someone can tell me how I will put up a few pictures, dont have any great ones yet but I do have a few.....so far the truck has weatherguard bugsheild, egr ventshades, 5% tint, weathergaurd floor mats, bilstein leveling shocks, 305/65/18 bfg allterrains, line-x, and custom toolbox/dogbox

Deerhunter, what notch (spring seat) position do you have the shocks set on in these pics? If I understand correctly, there is 3 or 4 different positions you can set them at for different front end lifts.

How is the ride? Smoother? Quieter? How about handling pot holes and washboard?

Looks fantastic by the way!

The ride is excellent, I dont know that it is any smoother but the cornering and handling are amazing, I'm taking turns at 75 that before were scary at 65 before

I've actually been looking at this option for leveling my 09 f150. Your truck looks great.

It wasnt quite clear above. Do you have anything done to the back?

thanks, and no sorry if it wasnt clear, I have not done anything to the rear, it is stock 4x4 height...I was hoping the fron would come out higher than the rear with the new shocks but it did not so I left the rear as is, in fact it is perfectly level with new shocks which I guess I cant complain

First off, great truck! Really like it.

But help me out. Do you ever tow/load anything? Cause first 200lbs you put on and your nose is up in the air? To me thats far worse than the factory rake. OR are you putting on rear air bags or something else to keep it level.
