    I'm waiting to install the 5100's in my 05 v6 access cab with the eibach coils. What clip position do I want for the full three inches. Toytec web sites confusing. Toytec says second clip from bottom? So with the coils can I go past three inches? With stock coils use the top clip for the full three? SOS install time aproaches

    Depends on your coils, what is the lift of those coils?

    It will likely ride terribly and void your warranty on your shocks, among other things I've not yet heard of.

    I wouldn't try to bandaid too short of a lift coil by preloading them all to hell.
    You can buy OME 887 coils that are actually 3 inch coils for $160. You could sell the Eibachs and run the 5100s at 0 setting which would be the best ride. Do you have UCAs?

    Both Eibach coils are 620 lbs AFAIK.

    What is their lift height? I think they have 1.6 and 2.somethings.

    It doesn't really matter anyway, you still shouldn't go beyond .85 (second setting).
