Billstein 5100 best settings

[rubrduk]

I'm going to be getting my 5100's installed along with the Mopar UCA's (with TimberGrove helper bags in the back which is a .75 lift)

my truck is a standard crew cab 4x4, no off-road kit


My question: I'm trying to decide which clip position/lift that I want to use

I would like to go with the #7 position which is 2.6", but have been told it can be harsh,...so that puts me at the #6 @ 2.2"




how much sag can I expect after it settles? my plan is to have this level-lift with 20x10 wheel / 35x12.50 tires

should I consider swapping to ORP springs and doing a lower clip to still achieve the 2.6"?



I'd ultimately love to go with a 3.5-4 lift, but living in the city, I regularly encounter parking structures and height restrictions...so I'm sticking to a lower profile

Curious myself. Got my 6112s going on Wednesday and torn between clip 8 @ 2.6 or clip 7 @ 2.2.

I set my 6112s at setting 8 for the 2.6". I've got almost 2500 miles on the vehicle with the lift and the springs settled some and the truck sits damn near perfectly level.

I drove the truck with that suspension for a few days with factory tires and it drove great. I didn't notice any changes to handling or ride quality. When I put the 35x1150 ridge grapplers on is when the ride changed. The tires are stiffer and you feel more of the road. It wasn't extreme and I honestly expected it to be worse. For me it was a non issue.
