5100s going on soon...how to set?

This makes the most sense out of all the research I've done on this forum. I'm looking for a mild lift - about 1.5", will keep my stock coils then. Especially if the Bilstein 5100s were designed to be used with the factory coils. Thank you!

 

I second that, people also say 885’s are good, but maybe you didn’t see my post right before yours above...

 

Dang I did not acknowledge either - excellent rig.

 

I put mine on the 2nd notch (.65”), and it came out pretty damn level to the eye, though I haven’t measured. I have a backflip tonneau and hitch mount bike rack on, so that may compress the rear a bit on mine, hence why I’m pretty level at .65”. Stock coils on mine, and I agree with what others have said. Ride is better than stock.

 

I must be missing something here, and I've seen this a lot on the site....To get a lift, the length of the coil and shock assembly must get longer, not shorter (compressing the spring). The clips essentially lengthens the entire assembly as opposed to drastically compressing the spring. I didn't measure mine, but logic would suggest that if there is some pre-loading, it's not much, spring rates will not change, and I certainly have not noticed much difference in ride, maybe a tad more stiff around corners. Does anyone have some pics of the assembly on the 4600 vs. 5100?
