    Hey guys,

    I recently posted about using the 5100's to lift my truck, but instead I am now going to just use them to level my truck. I am using the 0-1 inch ride height adjustable rear 5100's and the 0-2.5 inch front 5100's. The only thing I can't seem to really find a definitive answer on is what clip setting to use in order to have a complete level. My rear center hub to fender is 23 inches. My front is 22.5 (with 1.25 inch in-coil spacer). I am going to take that out with the new shock install, so I am not sure what the normal ride height would be for the front without the spacers. I think this is where my confusion is coming from with what clip setting to use. If anyone has any input or knows which setting to use, please let me know!

    Thanks!

    Rears are not adjustable and don't provide lift.

    Set your front 5100s at 1.75 and see how it looks, or use a measuring tape after removing the spacers.

    You're right, I should have said ride heigh "accommodating" for the rears. But I will try 1.75 for the front and see how she looks. Do you happen to know what stock ride height of the rear is off the top of your head for and 05 4WD TRD? I can't tell if the previous owner put an AAL back there or not.
