    Amen. So many follow the flock and lift their trucks right from the get go, many will never need the 3'' of lift and sacrifice so much just too attain the lifted look. I've had both lifted and not lifted, I don't think people really take into account the trade offs and what its worth to them. But to each their own. They do look good lifted.

    You either measured wrong or youre way to high on the clips and not safe at all and will likely stress the strut and have a serious issue shortly. Now if you did 5100's with springs, etc. to achieve the 4'' thats a different story.

    Anyone seen my wallet?
    Did you assemble the shocks or were the springs/hats preassembled?

    Your spring perches might be upside down

    Stock or aftermarket? You can't achieve 4'' of lift from 5100s alone. We are trying to help figure out what you did so you don't mess your truck up possibly, see the poster above regarding upside down.

    What kind of springs? Which notch? Any top hat spacers?

    Please dont take these questions lightly.. the 5100s arent meant for 4 inchs of lift.

    Okay doke. I predict struts will be blown soon or at least some clunks with rough ride. Good luck.

    yep, pretty sure the instructions say not to set them past the 2nd or 3rd clip.
