    My 5100's didn't have any paperwork with them saying which groove to have the snap rings in for what height. Can someone tell me the amount of lift for each groove?

    OK, Thanks
    I'll set them in the third groove then, for 1.75" lift.

    I installed mine last night! I'm concerned though...there's very little space between the tires and the upper control arm and all the other components after the installation. I'm talking less than an inch between tire and metal. Is this an issue?? SUPER new to this. Thanks!

    I read on the sticky that anything over 1.5" you need a diff drop... Is that common practice? I put a toytec 3"lift on my fj with new UCA and added the diff drop but is that really necessary when doing a 1.75" billstein 5100 up front?

    I installed the carrier bearing drop kit but didn't do the diff drop. And I also installed the driver side 1/4 spacer.

    Yes and they are cheap. Some people use washers but I used the kit.

    Measure from center of your hub to the fender well and both driver and passenger side and you will see what we are talking about.
