Thuren Fox 2.0 is an option to consider.

I've used a set of 5100's for the last five years - they did better than stockers by a fair bit.

I am running 5100s and am pleased with them. Especially for the price.

pick some more travel up from the 7100's I think... Fox 2.0's are awsome aswell especially when you get valved by don. Few YouTube vids out there showing them perform. If I had to do it again id go all don Thuren stage 3 in front stage 2 in back he is very good with valving dodge diesels and hemis...
