Hi all,

I just received my 5100s in the mail today and was wondering if they were supposed to come with snap rings?

Or better yet, what comes in the box for the 5100 struts. All I have are the shocks, boot, 1 washer, nut, and the coil seat.

I'm pretty sure that is how mine came; shock, coil seat, boot, washer and nut. There should be snap rings for the coil seat already on there too.

Thanks for the reply. I guess mine didn't come with the snap rings. Anyone know if i need them if I wanted to get only the 1/2 inch lift?

Yes you will need them. The 5100's have 3 grooves machined in the body, and the snap ring fits in one of the 3 grooves to achieve varies amounts preload which lifts the truck. The lowest setting (lowest groove) provides that 1/2" of lift and the coil seat will need to sit on the snap ring even at the lowest setting.
