Does anyone have tips for 1.5" lift with Bilstein 5100's?

    Plus, 3rd gens already sit about an inch higher from the factory. I would assume using the 5100s at 1.75 would only give you .75 of lift up front.

    Incorrect. Using the 2nd gen 5100's with stock 3rd gen springs will net you the same amount of EXTRA lift. That stated being that the 3rd gens sit 1in taller from the factory you are limited as to how tall you can go before needing UCA's etc by 1 inch less than the 2nd gens.

    FYI they make specific 3rd gen 5100's with different lift height amounts. 3rd gen extra factory ride height comes from different springs that are slightly longer and have a higher spring rate.
