What do you mean by 5.25" mounts...curious.

taller mounts let you have a flat cab floor and more bed depth at the expense of more of the center frame hanging below the running boards, in this case about 1.5 inches. shorter mounts set the running boards level with the bottom of the frame so if you bag it, it will lay "all the way out", at the expense of more trimming on the wind deflector, a small trans bump (unless you use a 5.3 with a truck pan, then you will need a BIG trans bump) and a slightly shorter bed depth.
