Bilstien 5100 stock height adjustment ??

[559v84runner]

Hi I just got a set of bilstien 5100 for my 05 v8 4runner and was wondering what what would be the stock ride height adjustment ? There are rings and slots to adjust the ride height on the shocks, I don't know what would be the stock height ??

The slot closest to the bottom is stock height.

Okay just wanna make sure it's the right setting, I'm using stock springs all around with the Bilstien 5100, i use my 4Runner to tow my 18.6ft bass boat which probably weighs 2500lbs with trailer, don't want the nose to be to high when I tow

Also how are you guys blocking off the X Rea system when installing the Bilstien 5100 that doesn't have the connection to the x Rea system?

The slot closest to the bottom is stock height.

Is that the last slot on the bottom or second to the last slot on the bottom?

I had a set of 5100s installed on the front of my '08 about 3-4 months ago. and absolutely luvv em! They're set at ~1.85" which i think is 2nd frm the Top- it totally levels out the T4R and the handling is much smoother.

Was it simple to install the 5100? Does your runner have the Xrea Shock system?

Bottom perch. It will change the ride if you do anything but the bottom.

Bottom perch...last bottom ring...

Not sure why you got 5100s then if you are running them stock height

Ummmmm, well, maybe because he has read what a great shock the Bilsteins are and wanted something better than stock would be my guess. Just sayin.
:noidea:

Are the 5100's that are optional equipment adjustable?

I realize that, but bilstein makes non adjustable shocks for that lol
