I tried the 5125 too and they were not enough for the front end. I had to buy 7100s so it is cheaper to go 7100 in the front.

Ok, i got over it and ordered the 5125's for the back with 12" travel and 255/70 valveing. Then i got the 7100's non reservoir 14" travel 360/80 valving for the front. I will try to keep you posted as to how they work;D

Another vote for the 7100. I have a winch and protofab bumper on the front and the 5125 (255/70) is not enough. Should have bucked up...Lee tried to tell me at Raceshocks, but I didn't want to listen.
