    Hey man.... i've been chatting it up on JF about using the 5100s w/MD cut coils in the superlift for 6". I you could get a deal on the parts, would you want to test it out?

    And Mark (lekmedm)... similar situation for you. The vendor wants to know if the Superlift + 5100s (and stock springs) would net 6" of lift but he needs a someone to test it. I can do the install for ya. After we verify if 6" is possible we should be able to set them back down to the standard 4" lift you currently have since the lowest 5100 setting is .75" lift, which is about what the superlift preload spacer adds (so we'd just take that spacer out)

    I can test it both ways! With stock springs and the new struts and with the MD springs! I have everything laying around at the shop! So the question I have is what kind of deal are we talking about?

    PM me your email. I'll have him email you directly.

    I'm half tempted to sell my OME HD setup and run these 5100's with cut MD springs now...

    say I run a XK hemi coil in the front with a rusty strut spacer, I'd set these to the 1" position to accommodate the added height or would setting them to the 1" setting add to the 3/4"-1" I'm gaining from the XK hemi coil and strut spacer?

    Setting them to 1" would add to the height.

    Id try running the hemi coils with the 5100s on the lowest setting and leave the 1/4" strut spacer off.
