    Just recently did bilstien 5100’s and old man emu’s up front. I had it installed at a shop. When I picked it up they put the old man emu coils on the top notch (5th i believe). To my knowledge ome coils where supposed to be installed at the lowest setting on the bilstiens. Will this hurt anything? Shop isnt opened for another 2 days. Would appreciate some advice thanks. Told them it was 2 inches up front and i had the ring at the lowest setting when i gave it to him...

    there is chart for that particular spring at specific settings, I think headstrong offroad will have that link. Could result in topping out excessively. I know with 2888's the recommended is bottom notch, some however are running 0.85, but I suspect that is with a plate bumper/winch.

    5th notch you could suffer bottoming the shock out. The shocks do most of the lifting so you should drop it to the 2nd(.85) notch at your first opportunity.

    Do you think it would be fine to drive it around until the shop opens tuesday?
