Default 5100's

Can 5100's give u a small amount of lift in the front end as well as the back? I know there is 2 settings on them just wondering if I could get an inch or so of lift in the front? Thanks for any info in advance

Front struts can do 0" 1" or 2"
Rear shocks can do 0-1" by using a bigger block

I all ready have a leveling kit so the 5100's won't be able to raise my front end anymore than that right?

No it won't. You can use one or the other. Even if you could combine them, going over 2.5"-3" will start causing you problems.

Some use the 5100's for the level. You stated you already have a level kit, so I would use the 0 setting. Never heard of the 1 or 2 setting being used with a level kit. Remove the level kit or run at 0. As you know, the level kit is just a spacer. I would take it off.

i know that the leveling kits put some pretty harsh angles on the front end. Do the 5100's put this angle in the front suspension components as well?
