Just purchased the Bilstein 5100 and can't decide if I want to go 1.4 or 2.1 . I like a little rake since I pull my boat and also my buggy on a trailer. Whichever setting I decide to go with will I have to adjust my headlights or will I be able to leave them set at factory setting? Is one setting better than the other for ride?

Before you install your Bil's, park about 25' from your garage door and use a piece of tape and mark where your headlights are shinning on the door. When you install your shocks you can park in the same place and when you turn on your lights you can check the tape to see how much they need to be adjusted. I have mine set at 2.1 and the ride is just fine.

2.1 as well, and I didn't adjust the lights ... I thought they were too close/low from factory ... Better after 2.1

Please don’t be one of the inconsiderate people that do not re-aim the headlamps. If people flash you. You know you need to. Please do it!
