Bilstein 5100 and 882 lift

I tried searching and know that the ome 882 springs work with the ome shocks because they can extend long enough to utilize the full lift. I'm wondering if anyone knows if they will work with the adjustable 5100 series Bilstein shocks? I'm just looking to see if this is even an option with the 882 springs? Thanks.

According to the Toytec website

"Front ride Height / preload adjustable shocks
5100 series with silver / zinc plate finish
Settings for stock, 1.25" (for leveling) or 2.5"lift in one shock
Works great with all other front lift options we sell
Complete front and rear lift packages avaliable- Search site or ask for details
If used with front lift coils we recommend using the lowest setting to avoid damage to front suspension/driveline components. "

Steve from Sonoran Steel sells full lift kits using them. It also looks like he believes that you can adjust them to gain additional lift.

I'm trying to find out if anyone has tried the 5100's and lift springs on the second setting. Will this ruin my front axels... currently I have the Toytec springs and LC rears. And my Runner looks like a 70's dragster... I found a bad front strut when installing the new springs so I have the struts now but would like to install them right the first time. So give me opinions... Lowest setting or the second?
