Downey coil question

I installed my new coils and shocks this weekend and they are great. I actually got 3 inches lift out of the 1.5" coils and I was wondering if I should use the 3" setting on the brake valve instead of the middle holes. It's the 6 hole adaptor that comes with the Downey kit that attaches to the stabilzer bar.
Thanks.

I'd probably have to say no. I got 2.5 with mine but I went with the middle setting, and everything's perfect. Plus you may settle
a little after awhile.

I would go with the middle as well. You don't want to mess around with brakes.. Follow the instructions. How did you manage to get 3 inches. Your stock coils musta been in really bad shape!

I went with Off road warehouse for the shocks. 1800-341-7757 @ $61 each. The front shocks are still on backorder until the middle of Feb.
The ass was really dragging in my truck. Maybe that's why I got so much lift out of the coils.

Are you measuring the 3 inches from your sagging height? The 1.5 inch lift is measured from the factory non-sagging height. Use the middle holes.
