    So I got some 5100’s and then me 2886 coils. I don’t have a heavy bumper and when they installed them with the highest setting on the shocks it raised the front end about 5”. To get it back level, which ring should I put the key in? There are 4 rings. I don’t want to have to lift the rear and don’t want the front way too high. Any advice??

    Ok. Thanks. The shitty thing is that I have to pay about $300 to have them redone. I told them to drop them down to the second ring. Should I have them put them on the first setting? I guess better too low this time just in case? Thanks for any help!

    886s on the highest setting man the ride must be terrible.

    Any aftermarket coil are supposed to be at the bottom on 5100s.

    886 coils without any extra weight on the front? It's going to ride a bit rough in the front. Was the plan to add a plate bumper and winch?

    That’s still the plan, but I had a shock go bad, so I replaced everything at once. I thought I had read everything about the 886 and 5100s, but I never saw that the 5100s should be put on the lowest groove and would still get 2-1/2” of lift. That mistake is costing me an extra $300.
