Thanks for the recommendation but can you tell me why you recommend the HDs?

Decent price, and people say they are day and night difference from stock.

Will I need to do anything else to make it more offroad friendly?

The main question is what are you planning to do off road? Pre-running or just some extra beef on the truck if you decide to hit some trails on the weekend?

My Bilstein HDs made my truck much more comfortable to drive....even with a 6 inch lift it is riding much better than stock. The ride is smooth. You indicated that you didn't want more lift which the HDs will not add. I believe the BIlstein 5100 series will add about 1/2" of lift on the lowest setting.

Will the 5100s lift it more with my PRG mini lift on?

 

[Mattastic13]

From what I know, the 5100s have several settings from I think 1/2" at the lowest to maybe 1 1/2". So yes it will lift it more. But I don't know if it will cause coil bucket contact. Someone with more knowledge than I will have to answer that.

Thanks for your help Mattastic13. Can anybody else help answer this question?

5100's will lift it a little more. on the lowest setting it shouldnt cause bucket contact. It just adds preload to the springs. i dont know how to really answer this. Nor Cal answers these questions like 100 times a day.

Yours an 06, in 07 they repositioned the coilbucket higher to the control arm, so contact was easier, i think you can go 3" without it touching, maybe more, but with your 06, 1/2" will nowhere near make contact. And 1 1/2" will be perfect for what you want.
