OME 885 lift height not as expected??

OK, I needed to upgrade the finally upgrade my UCA's from the stock ones. I was running stock coils with 5100's set on 2.5. I have a decent rake, somewhere around 1.25" higher in the rear. Since i was dropping $700 on TC uniball ucas, I ditched the stock coils, dropped the 5100's down to 0, and installed some new OME 885 coils with a 10mm top plate spacer. After a crazy amount of time searching this forum and others, the general consensus was that this setup would provide at 2.5"-2.75" of lift, and with a top plate spacer would get me close to a full 3". I went around to multiple stock tacos, and verified that the stock hub to fender measurement was 20" give or take a few decimals. This would mean that a full 3" of lift should be in the area of 23" hub to center. (right?)

I installed everything tuesday night, but with 5100's @ zero, 885 coils and a 10mm top plate spacer, im only netting 22" hub to center on both sides, aka ~2" of lift, which is the same if not slightly lower than what i was netting with my stock coils on 2.5

Im guessing my 2 options are 1)bumping the 5100's up one setting to .85, which seems to be worse than committing murder on this site or 2) going to a bigger top plate spacer. Im supposed to be dropping her off for an alignment but i know this is going to drive me nuts and i dont want to do it again

Is it just me or has anyone had a similar experience with these coils??

Thanks in advance

 

Something seems weird

 

^^ yes, Sum Ting Wong

 

They were new coils? And are they the 885x?
The old 885's sagged didn't they?

 

I'm at 22" with 885's no spacer, allpro bumper (no winch), and allpro skids. Don't remember before the bumper & skids but I recall around 22.5-22.75. 4 Year old coils so they've already settled long ago.

 

I mean thats what i ordered and thats what the stickers all said on the box and springs when i got them, i didnt measure them unloaded tho. Everything was bought brand new

this is my order reciept from wheelers, correct parts right?



And a couple pics of the suspension that probably cant tell anything but ill post them anyway

Passenger side



Rake

 

I did get the 885x, heres the box they came in



I dont think you can buy new 885's vs 885x's?

 

Spring perch on upside down?

 

That normally results in more lift but its possible. Looks right in pics

 

That would give more lift
Looks correct in pics

 

Its installed like this, with the snap ring in the 0 position (all the way on the left in this pic) which is correct no?

 

I got 885x w/ OME 9000 shocks with no spacers and it gave me right under 2.5 inches of lift after the springs settled in.

 

Yup

 

It's not

 

Same

 

I have Eibachs
and 5100's set at .85" and I'm getting 23" from the center of the wheel.
