    Since the subject has come up, I will video the very next situation where I have to change pre-load settings on a 5100. It's not something that pops up every day, so it may not happen any time soon. In all the cases where I've changed settings, it was reducing preload, where people had put the 5100's at 2.5" settings and decided that was a mistake, and wanted them put to the .85 setting instead. I fully agree with THAT too...I do NOT like preloading coils to gain lift. I'd much prefer to use a longer coil.

    I'm answering ONE SPECIFIC QUESTION FROM THE OP....He has a right to an answer.

    If you want to play safety Nazi, go right ahead. Myself? I respect other peoples intelligence enough that I don't think I need to manipulate what they see and hear....They can judge for themselves if they're up to a task or not.
