5100s at wrong setting

Hey yall, I've got a 3'' lift with 5100s and eibachs. Been concerned b/c my truck doesn't look level. Well today I got under my truck and felt up under the spring seat of my shocks with a bent paper clip. I couldn't feel a notch so i'm thinkin the guy that did my lift might have set my 5100s at 0 even though i told him to set them at .85. If the shocks were at .85 would i even be able to feel the 0 notch by sticking a paper clip up in the spring seat? What do yall think?

 

need a close pic of the shock body. if its set at .85 there should be 1 ring showing below he spring seat

 

I don't think you'll be able to get to the first notch if you're set at .85. The spring perch comes down pretty far.

 

^^^ possibly correct. i dont remember enough about the ones i had on my '08 to know what they still look like.

 

How many notches do you see above the spring perch?

 

The notches are about 1/2" apart. So it's gonna be tough to tell.

 

LOL. DERP.

 

Didn't think about that haha. Went and looked and there's 2 notches i can see above the spring perch. So I guess everythings right. just cant figure out why my truck doesn't sit level

 

Are both sides the same?

 

you mean the same setting on the 5100s?

 

yeah

 

Search for "Taco lean". The driver's side of the truck sits lower. The OEM coil spring is longer on the driver's side to compensate. Eibachs were probably equal length, so the lean is more apparent.

You can buy a 1/4" trim spacer to compensate. It is sandwiched between the strut top plate and the struct bucket.

I've got the 1/4'' driver side lean spacer though

 

So which side is higher? And where are you measuring to?

 

You mean not level front to back maybe ?

 

yeah thats what i meant

 

What lift do you have for the rear, the 2" toytec AAL or the 1.5"

 

I have the 2'' toytec aal

 

And is the rear 1/2"-3/4" higher than the front?

 

Yeah at least that much. I think I measured about 23'' in front and 24'' rear
