    Way to much...but not enough.
    I just finished installing new bilsteins with factory TRDOR springs on the lowest setting and got almost 2.5 inches of lift out of them. Something has to be wrong, i had a shop instal the springs for me.

    Need some help.
    Thanks guys!

    The spring gives you the lift.. are you sure the strut is set to the zero setting?? The spring gives you the lift so changing just the strut set to the lowest or zero should give you no lift.

    Either the perch was upside down, or the shop bolted on some stainless steel tubing they had laying around on accident, thinking it was the shocks.
