    Hello all,

    I recently purchased 4 Bilsteins 5100 shocks. I was wondering if anyone here has advice about the setting of the Bilsteins and coach builder struts. Would it make more sense to use a 1 inch strut on each side and put the shocks on the middle setting or have the bilstein shocks on the top setting with .5 inch struts on each side? I am looking for around 2.5 inches of lift. I won’t do much off-roading, but do tow a boat in the summers.
