Looking at picking up a set of 4 5100's from downsouth motorsports for $280US plus shipping of 55.75. Price ok?

At a lift 1.75 will the road ride be better or as good as factory TRD shocks?
I like how the truck rides now and just at looking at leveling the truck out.

Thanks
Don

Price is really good. Shipping seems reasonable as well. Don't forget about duty and taxes, of course.

I am running 5100s with longer/stiffer springs, set at 0.85. Ends up similar to the 2.5 settings on stock springs. I love the ride compared to the stock suspension. It's slightly stiffer than SR5, which is softer than a stock TRD.

If you set them to 1.75 on the fronts, you'd probably level out with the 4-leaf TSB springs.
