    I have a 2002 tacoma prerunner, which has a factory lift of about 2-3"
    I want to lift my front end another 2". (so 4-5" in front and 3" in back.)
    If i use Bilsteins 5100 adjustable shocks, and adjust them to 2", will it add onto the 3" i already had, making my lift about 4"
    Or will it be only 2", thus possibly lowering my truck an inch?:confused:
    Im confused about this, and if there are any other things i should know
    THANK YOU FOR THE REPLIES! IM NEW! I APPRECIATE IT!:)

    Sorry i meant: since prerunners have a higher "stock" height than a standard tacoma; with the shocks intalled, will it lift my truck 2" higher than it is currently? i am just trying to lift my front end 2" higher than my rear.
    (My truck is stock, so i did not add any blocks or spacers)
    Thanks!

    Ok gotcha, yes 5100s with stock coils will give you lift you just gotta move them from the 0 setting, or eibachs with 5100s on the 0 setting for 2"-3.5" of lift

    Is there really a 1.5" lift variable on the eibachs?

    On 0 it's around 2.5 I believe but you can change the setting even though its not recommended

    Gotcha.....I guess the way u typed it looked like they offered a large lift varience...sorry bout that.

    Actually, no....im glad I asked the question (even if it seemed dumb), atleast if the OP was confused like me, the answer is clarified.

    Id assume anything past 0.85 plus eibachs isn't good?
    they don't promote it, but we know the .85 and eibachs on the 2nd gens "works".
