After nearly forgetting it was not only mother's day but also the wife's bday... upps! I am going to wait for the next round of truck parts.
That said, I have some more time to think/second guess myself.
As much as I didn't want to lift the nose I do not like the amount of stock rake. Planning to use a low setting on the 5100s to lift it just a bit and take some of the rake out. A bit is ok; just not where it sits now IMO.
Does anyone regret getting 5100s? I see more than a few recommendations in one of many threads, so I am almost sold. I also didn't want to jack someone's suspension thread with "did these piss anyone off?" - so yes I made another strut/shock post. Sorry for those that get offended by new threads. If one is out there looking for problems with 5100 me and google missed it.
More info:
I do not have to worry about what struts resist rust where I am at so that isn't much of a factor.
4X2 and don't plan on running a tire much bigger than stock in the future.
4x2 so not much offroad and nothing anyone would call real offroading. More like rough grassing....
Towing: Eventually, it will be pulling around 5k about once a month to a track.
