Hello. First off I apologize for this being a repetitive topic but I was unable to find a more current thread on this: I am looking to purchase the Blistein 5100's front and back. I want to level it out. Which setting on the front struts is recommended to level? I have seen both the middle and top setting, but the threads I cam across were 3+ years old. I have an 08' LE crew cab. Thank you for any and all input/advice!

Mike

Depends on the sag of your current springs really. 8 year old springs are probably about shot. You normally get about an inch on the middle perch and 2 on top. You will have coil bucket contact on the top spot. I got 1.5" from the middle perch on a 15 with brand new springs. Your lift with these comes from compressing the spring, so the older more worn the spring, less lift.

also depends on if you are 2wd or 4wd, 2wd have more rake front to back, as the springs are stiffer on a 4wd.

Measure the space between the top of your wheel well and tires, front and back. Find the difference in heights and that's how much you need to be level. 5100s only give 1.5" of lift so you'll still need a spacer if you need more than 1.5" to be level.

I put 5100s all around on mine. I have an 05 4wd, and on the middle setting I have about an inch of rake towards the front.

You can use Bilsteins to raise the front, and it is fine to have a slight rake.

I have Bilsteins all around on my 2012 PRO4X, middle setting. Yeah it level her out for the most part but the front still sits a tad lower. I was told its just to stiff on the top setting.
