    Howdy, so maybe a month ago I got bilstein 5100s fron and rear, OME 888s in the front, and a 1.5-2.5in AAL. All struts are set to the 0. The front is right around where I like it, I can go over speed bumps and small things like that and its just eats em up real nice. The rear on the other hand is pretty stiff. Its already pretty settled, I put 4k miles on it, so I know its not that. I was wondering if moving the clip from 0 to 1 on the rear would make it a little bit softer. Im only asking about doing this because since I did put the AAL on there the shocks might be a little stretched...? IDK I was hoping some one who knows a little more about this could help. Also, if I wanna level up the front to the rear should I get those .25 maybe .5 in spacers or adjust the bilsteins up 1 notch? Any input is appreciated.

    You are not going to make it "softer" by lifting it and adding springs.

    What AAL did you install? Your question of moving the clip 0 to1 in the rear makes no sense. There is no rear shock/springs with clips to adjust.
