    Mine was supposed to come with 2.5" preset, but I don't think there is hardly any. Is there a guide to go by?

    I'm running the exact same setup as you, except I have MCM ucas. I noticed your truck sits a lot more level than mine. Did you crank up the coilovers at all? I had a "1.25 lift out of the box. Cranked to "2.5 thinking the springs would settle to "2. Sits at "1.75 now. Ass end is sitting at 3.5" of lift after 2k miles. Once I get my hi clearance bumper on that should help. Way to much rake for me the way it sits now.

    Seems to give a good amount of lift on par with my old man emu, CV angles look fine and it still compresses nicely.

    I'm sitting on 15 threads on the left, 12 on the right showing which gives me 2.75" over OEM and a 1" rake with U402 Deavers and stock shocks in the back. (Still waiting on my rears to come in..)

    The number of threads visible should be quite different between 1st and 2nd/3rd Gens to achieve the same amount of height increase. That's most likely why it looks like a ton of preload to those of us a with newer gen!
