Help me identify if my 5100s are on the top setting or can go higher?

    Hey all,

    Finally snagged some new tires and am looking into what height setting the bilstein 5100s are at that are currently on the truck. Optimistically hoping they are in the middle setting (the 5100s have three clip positions right?) and I can raise the front a bit more. Note that one of the notches is currently exposed, so it’s definitely not in the lowest setting. See attached pic.

    Thanks in advance.

    Think you may need to post some other pictures, showing the adjustment collar from different angles

    To me it looks like it’s on the bottom setting. You can see another gap on the shock in between the coil loops.

    I really don’t think it’s the bottom because you can see the bottom notch in the picture, right?

    I think the picture might be misleading. I’ll grab some more soon.

    Yeah you’re right. Maybe the middle? Try to look down on it to see if you can see the top notch.

    Just realized the 5100s have 3 settings and not 4. At least the ones pictured on Toytec’s site do. Being that you can pretty clearly see two notches in that middle picture above, I think it’s safe to say these are in the highest setting. Thoughts?

    Yep, I think you are correct, top setting.

    My 5100's have 4 notches, but they are about 3 years old.
