Running on the first clip on the 5100's, the springs are providing the lift. I went with light in the rear and medium up front as I wanted nearly level stance. On Alldogs website they list the Dobinsons equivalent for rates of their in house ADO springs. Rates for ADO light are 220 rear, and ADO medium 100-220 front. Net about 2.5” up front. Light rear coils net about 2”. Hub to fender before/after isn't really an accurate story as the stock suspension can be in various states of condition. Mine had 200+k on it, so for my particular rig, after a year of use, my final center of hub to fender running BFG 285/70/17 is 22.5 front and 23.5 rear. I don't carry a lot of gear, only add on is a JW rear mount spare carrier. I went with medium up front because I plan a front bumper someday, but no RTT or fridge or anything out back. Have a very slight rake now, less than stock. The ride is great to me, firm, but not bouncy, wallowy, or overly stiff. Similar to my beat stock suspension in "sport" mode, but better if that makes any sense. The SPC Uca's allowed alignment to be put into spec and drives very nice, no wandering, darting, or bump steer evident. For a daily it works well, I'm not out on the trails all the time so didn't really need one of the more extreme long travel set ups. Still flexes pretty good. I'm running Durobump bump stops front/rear as well.
