    I hope this helps. All though I'm set on the 4th setting it rides so much better than the stock Sport ride. Alignment was perfect, used stock UCA. Got 2 3/4 in the front and a 1 inch block in the rear, making it almost level or the slightest rake. I didn't want to go on the highest setting because I would be slightly higher in the front. Also I didn't want a 2 inch block in the rear. Didn't want to much of a gap in the wheel wells which might look un-proportionate with the new wheels and tires. The Off Road shop says they have had some vibrations when a 2 in block in the rear and they said that the settings on the highest would ride the same if set on the 1st or 2nd setting. This shop has been in business for many years, amazing reputation and a stunning showroom and work center. Something you would see on tv. Mine rides and handles so much better.
