    Very nice. I’m thinking about going with this same setup. Are the 5100s on the 0 clip? How’s the ride compared to stock?

    Yes they are set at 0. As far as the ride is concerned; it feels as smooth as stock going over these rough Illinois roads. Also eliminated the "floating" feeling I got while driving. All around very pleased.

    That setup looks great! From a relative suspension noob, what is set at 0 mean? Is that the setting that would bring it level or higher?

    Yes. On bilstein struts there are different settings when you assemble them for 0" lift up to i think 2.5" lift. With after market springs i think they only suggest 0 setting.

    Ok, thanks. So the aftermarket springs are bringing it to level, not the 5100s?

    Exactly what runner4it said . 2inch in the front 1 inch in rear. I was wanting to lift and level it. I wanted to get rid of the stock rake it had and after the install as you can see there still is some but honestly....i love it. To me the small rake that is left gives it the perfect stance. I may be biased also
