    I have 18" wheels and I'm planning to get the adjustable 5100's and have them installed on the .85 setting. I doubt that gets it perfectly level but a slight bit of rake doesn't bother me and then I can add a bigger tire like 275/65 R18.

    My shop charges $105 an hour for labor and quoted me 3 hours to do the job. Then it needs a front end alignment and it should be good to go. No spacers which I want to avoid. Later once I get more funds I will likely swap out the back ones with 5100's as well.

    OK so use the stock coils and just set the front 5100's to the level hight to my rear, my rear is 1 1/2" higher then front. So I am guessing .85 setting with stock coils should bring up front close to 1 1/2" ?

    I've done a lot of reading and the .85 setting is what I gather will get you closer to level but probably not quite level.

    I guess you can get a different/larger spring and couple that with the .85 setting to get darn near close to level.
