Am I wasting my time?

[SnrDisregardo]

So I am going to be getting the 5100's, both front and rear, but I was going to leave the ride height alone. This is on my 15 Trail, but is still my DD so "economy" is still important to me since I have a 70 mile round trip commute. I plan on taking it off road and would love to go to the FJ Summit when the kiddo's get older. Would I be wasting time and energy leaving them set at 0 or waiting and putting a full lift on?

IMO install all 4, leave rear stock height and set the front at 0.85 to "level" the stance and reduce a little of the nose dive. there will be very little noticeable effect to fuel economy.

If you don't lift, leave it alone. In a few years when you want to lift it you will want something else.

Thanks guys.

agree with the other guys, if your not gonna lift, there is no sense in just swapping out the shocks on a brand new vehicle. leave it stock until you have to replace the shocks or want to lift it.

If anything, I was going to do what cody had suggested and set it 1 notch up, but the rake doesn't bother me.

So either leave it alone or bite the bullet and lift it. Well, now I have to figure out how to explain it to the wife.....

Just do it and tell her she's crazy if she asks if the truck is higher! [emoji16]

it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission... and if she says anything just distract her with, "Hey where is my damn sammich?!"
