    Ok guys I have a brand new set of billy 5100s for my 2006 double cab. I have already put the pro comp 3 inch lift. I have already blown both pro comp shocks. I already switched out the rear shocks to 5100's as well. My question is since the pro comp springs are way longer then the factory springs what setting should I place the 5100's at? It's obviously not the top two notches but do I leave it at notch one or notch two to set the strut at .85 lift? I don't want to set it install then uninstall to change the settings. Anybody got any input on which to use.

    I think Bilstein recommends NOT raising the collar (leave @ zero setting) on the shock if using lift springs...

    Wasn't sure. Since everyone sets them at .85 with eibach springs. Which I believe are lift springs as well right?

    yes, .85 with eibach will get just under 3" of lift, depending on bumper weight.

    I knew that just unsure of what to do with pro comp springs. I'm pretty sure that they give you the lift more then the struts did.
