    Yea installed. I've only had my lift for about 3 months so he's honoring the work he did for me. I was kinda shocked also. Just wondering if the spacer lift would kinda null the fact that I have the 5100's.

    You don't want to mix the two together bud. One or the other. Your front end doesn't look like it's lifted at all. That a hell of a rake on there. What is your measurement from the center of the front hub to the fender?

    1/2" top plates would give you probably nearly an 1" more of lift

    My buddy has a 3" spacer lift on his FJ, revtek I believe.. went in to get new shocks, guy suggested 5100's and he assumed that would mean the option for some more lift, but the mech would only install them at stock height (prob a smart move). I don't imagine this is your guy's plan, but yeah even with my limited lift knowledge I'd be uneasy trying to get more lift out of shocks with a preexisting spacer lift.

    Its lifted. I think the fact that I have 285's doesn't help it much...cuz it fills more space. I just want it a tad bit higher maybe an inch. He suggested (over the phone) for me to go in there tomorrow and he'd order me the Billies then when installed he'd keep the spacer lift on top...but not set the Billies to the highest setting. Mainly considering the angle of my cv joints. He's gonna keep it to where I'm not risking any damage to my cv's. So I guess we'll make the final decision tomorrow.

    Just remove your aal or block and call it a day. You don't want lift the front too high and damage your CV's.

    remove the spacer and put the billies at 2.5 with the stock coil or at .85 with eibach springs



    if you want to keep the block lift, then go for it. here is my friends truck with billes set at .85 with an AAL in the rear.
