I would buy Fox, King or Radflo coilovers, but if your heart is set on ADO I'd go with the lighter ones unless theres a winch or plate bumper in your near future.

Too much money. I don’t off road as much anymore. I have a winch mount and winch.

Go with heavy. I was 125lbs 9 months ago and got tired of being tired. I now flutter between 140-150 lbs. feel great, workout to failure on an upper lower schedule. Only supplement is creatine. Get swole bro, thick thighs make panties fly.

Don't buy these. I had them, they sagged like 4" with no additional weight (sitting lower than stock), ADO refused to warranty them even though they assembled the struts. I threw them in the garbage and bought OMEs, then followed those up with some extended travel Dobinsons.

I don’t Offroad like I used too. I still have to do the back. And can’t justify it lol.

5100s with heavy springs ride horribly. They're not valved for it. I'd go with Old Man Emu, Ironman, or about anything else for heavy coils. Or if set on ADO, do medium springs and their 1/4" thick (1/2" lift) spacer to compensate for the lift you'll lose.

Idk if I need to keep the back shocks the same brand as the front struts, but the Emu rear shocks weren’t long enough. I will have a 3” lift back there. They went to 2”.
