Got mine a couple of weeks ago from Offroad Elements. Haven't had time to play with settings yet, but have all of them set @ 3, and like the ride. Highly recommend the shocks, Eric @ Offroad Elements and Matt with Rancho

That is for "faster" stuff, I usually run a lower number in the rocks.
I am actually getting ready to run these again. For the last three years been on our monotubes ( love them!) but felt like mixing it up.

x2 on this.

Helped a buddy install 5100s on his truck last week and it's really an inconvenience when they don't have that spot for a wrench to keep the shock from spinning. Had to break out the vice grips.

The 5100s I've installed have a Allen wrench spot on the top of the mounting stem. Might want to check for that next time.

Yes, it is hidden up on top and not as easily accessible as properly designed shocks, especially on the passenger front shock.
