Smile Setting Air Ride Height on a 4.4, 2002

Greetings all!

I installed eibach springs (love em) a couple weeks ago and need to lower the rear. What should I tell the $tealership to do exactly. Just set it to medium? Will they give me any grief?

If I lower it does that basically mean that the rear shocks will travel a shorter distance now because it has been lowered?

Thanks in advance,
Elliot

P.S. Please don't respond with you should have bought coilovers

Just tell the dealer to lower the rear with their computer to match the front height. That's all.
