I had 5100's installed front and rear on my 19' 1500 with the fronts raised to the 2.1" setting, and all four stock springs retained, and then aligned.

Spot on handling and control in any situation. Big improvement over the stock suspension.

Good call going with the 4600 series. My 5100’s are set at 2.1 and lifts the front end two inches. Combined with the 20 inch wheels it sits up a lot higher than stock.

Agreed on the height increase.
But it's good for curbs for better parking options...lol

Oh yeah, I like the increased height. The OP is in his 70’s so I can understand the need for a lower height getting in and out of the truck. My wife and one daughter are short and don’t really like my truck. Only my tall daughter and I drive it LOL
