    Hey Everybody,

    I am wondering if there is a way to tell whether or not the circlip on my 5100s was installed in the fourth (2.5 inch) setting?

    It looks like I can see the first three rings, so, I am assuming the circlip must be on the ring above the ones that are visible?

    Probably a stupid question (but, I am far from intelligent).

    Thanks for your help as always (fastest/best replies of any forum).

    Stay safe and take care.

    From what I remember the lower spring seat covers the circlip, so yes, if you can see three then it would be in the fourth position.

    Awesome. Thanks man. I appreciate the help.

    I got a balled rear tire and a brand new front. So I'm assuming the difference in tire height is making the front lift seem more pitched than it is.
