Is it safe to move 5100’s with 2880 coils to middle setting?

Can I move 2880 coils to middle setting?

 

You can but it's not recommended, ride quality will suffer. Better to just get a different set of springs for however much more lift you want, like 881s or 882s. Keep the billies on the 0 setting.

 

To much preload will rip the shaft out of the shock body...... I learned that lesson twice.

 

Stock rear with 5100’s set at 0. I want like 1” higher in front.

 

Ive seen people do 883 coils on highest setting. That’s a lot of preload. You think 880’s will give a lot of preload on middle setting?

 

wouldnt 880 coils on the middle setting be like 881 coils on the bottom setting? The 881 are taller than the 880 so with the 880 on the middle setting wouldnt it be similar?
