    really?

    i asked this on JF, but setting this shock up to 1" with a stock coil to obtain some extra height- wouldnt that cause premature wear on the shock with no supporting mods for that extra height? or is that what its made for?

    im baffled by this shock and the options with it

    No. I really think you're missing the whole premise of how this shock works. Lift is achieved by relocating the lower spring perch to increase the preload on the spring. Nothing else is needed.

    gotcha... so i could run a set of hemi coils with these 5100s set to 2" and then in the rear run a OME coil with a set of bilstein 5100s in the rear (i know these arent adjustable) and achieve a 2" lift?

    Sounds right to me. You would be getting about 2 or so inches of lift front and rear running that setup. And even if the front sits a little higher than the rear or rear higher than the front spacers can be added to get it where you like it

    ^^ I'm contemplating selling my OME HD setup if you're interested. Would be Front & Rear springs, front struts fully assembled with all new components (new when I put them together, i didn't reuse any of my stock mounts). All you'd need is a set of rear shocks... but I have Scotts rear 5100s sitting in my garage that he'd probably be willing to sell.

    I'm just really interested in playing around with the OME MD + adjustable 5100 combo. My goal would be to get 3" lift on the highest 5100 setting so that when I get my superlift I can drop it down to the lowest or middle setting for the 5-5.5" im looking for.
