    0 haha, but apparently i can put them at 0.85, rather just have a 3" shock up there or something, i do alot of off roading in it.

    You can't go over 3" total in front without a drop bracket lift. I would remove the top plate spacers, which damage your ball joints at full droop, and bottom out your shocks at full compression, and just set the 5100s to 2.5"
