    I went with the 4th setting for my AC. Very happy with it. I never measured the actual lift pre and post install. Maybe a little over 2"?

    I'd try the 3rd setting. I think that's about 1.5". You'll always get a little more lift with an AC.

    All you did was change out the shocks?

    Yeah. OEM coils on 5100s.

    No drop kit. I need to measure everything to make sure all is well. Icon RXT leaf packs (option 2) with 5125s in the back.
