That was information pulled from the Bilstein site...I now realize that is B.S.

I have them on my truck now and mine are on the 3rd notch and I got a lil more than 1-1/2" of lift from them.

The data sheet that came with my shocks said 0", 3/4", 1-1/2", 2-1/4"

Sometime this week I will be bumping them up to the highest setting and installing an AAL in the rear.
