    0 setting will get you ~2.5". Dont set it any higher. If you want more, use a top plate spacer to gain an additional .5".

    Yep. 0. Not a good idea to pre-load coils that weren't meant for those shocks in the first place. You'll likely max out the travel of the shock or be damn close, just setting the 5100's to .85

    I have 5100s set at .85 with the OME 885x's and have had no problems, took it wheeling, all good. I know a couple others like tacochaos also run the same setup with no problems, but to each their own.

    Bilstein 5100 all around set at 2.5. 1.5 AAL in the rear. 265/75/16 Hancook Dynapro MTs on Black Moto Metal 951s. Black badges. Aftermarket grill. TRD seat covers.
    I have mine as high as I could get it with the stock coil and it lifted me 2.5 inches. I've offloaded many times like this and it's held up for the past 3 years now. The ride is alittle stiff but really ain't too bad

    But you are running OEM coils. 5100's were designed for those. 885's are taller and have a higher spring rate.
