How far can i crank SAW coilovers safely? How do my cv angles look?

im fairly new to the 4runner scene and not sure of the limits of these cv shafts, icranked it to about 2.5" of thread showing im afraid it might be a little steep. Anyone know what SAW recommends? I wanna get the most amount of lift safely? I dont want to keep trial and error'ing it cause those suck to adjust!

how do these look?...safe? not safe? uncrank a little?

Do you have Differential drop spacers... if not you should look at getting those. They will let you get away with a little more lift.

dang dude..thats alot. crank em down till the fins dont touch. 2.5" of thread does not equal 2.5" of lift. take it down to about 1.75~2" of thread showing.
