    Hi I just got my height adjustable toytec lift with bilstein shocks
    And when I got the shocks they were already set to the full length
    Should I run them like that with the eibach coils or drop them down
    One notch ??? Thank you

    Set them down to stock notch. I just installed eibachs on my bilsteins at the top notch and my UCA's are at a huge angle down. So I gotta take mine apart and drop them down. Save the aggravation. Your truck will ride like shit.

    Haha I hope he didn't pay for them to be pre-assembled then come to find out he has to take them apart to fix their screw up.

    This is the deal , especially if 4x, you've got 3" lift coils I'm assuming, you HAVE to drop the clip to the lowest setting (stock) on shock because for one its job is to do the lifting with as little preload as possible, thats why its longer & more importantly since you ARE 4x, the limit for lift with IFS is 3" , anything more & your out of specs for alignment & your CV angle will really suffer, thats why you always drop the clip on bottom with aftermarket coils for those adjustable ride heighters
