    Sorry to bug, any chance you can verify as I'm going to replace all the shocks myself and I would need to redo the front if the notch setting is wrong, LOL. I appreciate your help so thanks!!!

    Pretty sure , they’re easily switched . Just take the load off and you should be able to move the ring to desired settings if it’s not to your liking. I did the rears myself and left them at stock height. Shop did my fronts and did my alignment at the same time. But shop owner said he measured at each setting until it was pretty level. Then after a week or so it settled at level for me.

    OP, I just put the 5100's in the front and rear but kept the stock height. My 2010 Prerunner had the original Hitachi shocks on them before going to the 5100's. I don't offroad so this was really about replacing the 13 yr. old shocks. I can't tell a whole lot of difference on highway other than it handles bumps a little better. Overall, I'm pleased and if I ever go to sell the truck then the new owner can just adjust the front if desired.
