    So I have a Toytec 3" springs installed on Bilstein 1500 (set to zero) on the front of my Taco and Icon Lift springs in the rear. Ive had the lift on for about 8 months and love it.

    After getting the lift I added a winch and C4 low pro bumper and now the front sits lower that I would like. Measuring the truck my front sits at 22" center of hub to fender and the rear sits as 24" center of hud to fender.

    My question is can I have the front Bilstein 1500's set to the first clip to get the front closer to level with the rear? I would like to have the truck level or maybe just a bit or front rake bur not 2" difference.

    Thanks

    The Toytec springs are meant to be used on the zero setting only. May need to go to their spring with a higher load rating.

    I spoke to bilstein and Eibach in regards to this and for my specific spring (Eibach pro lift 2.5" 725lb) they stated that going to the second clip was acceptable to make up for the lost lift from armor/winch.

    I’ve been running mine 1 clip up for a good 5-6 years now without any issues.

    I just went out to the garage to double check the PN. 112-620’s which are the 1.6” springs. Not the same spring that you were asking. :oops:
