Default What are your bilsteins?

I'm getting my 5100's installed tomorrow, what settings are you all running. Any regrets on the setting you chose? Thanks

I have mine set one down from the highest. This gave me about 1-1/2" of lift. And leaves me with about 3/4" of rake. Overall very happy, but now I can't stop thinking how much better it would look with some bigger tires. Enjoy!

I plan on installing the heavy duty bilsteins instead of the 5100's.

Default 5100s on my truck...

...are on the second highest setting (one position down from the top).

About 1.75" lift...about 1/2"-3/4" rake.

Truck is level with dirt bike in the bed.

Very pleased with the look and ride quality.

Mine are set at 1 notch below the top 1.5"
Leveled the truck perfectly, ride is much better than stock.

Set at 2nd notch from the top...gained 1-5/8 inches of height in the front. Great ride and handling with them at all 4 corners.
