    Ha! I don't plan on going too hard. But I may end up doing the Superbumps anyway at some point :thumbsup:

    It's all good though. My truck gets nowhere near 20 MPG... :D

    I got these from CVJ :http://www.cvjaxles.com

    I had one installed when I had an axle rebuilt. The other I just ordered the boot and installed myself.

    I would definitely set the 5100's at 0", since the 881's will be providing the lift.

    If you find you need slightly more lift, you can always bring them back up a notch.

    thank you, that's what I was thinking too.do you have to pull coil back apart to adjust to the next notch?

    Yeah, I lost a clamp and wasn't sure how long it was off. I just went ahead and replaced the axle.

    Now, I have LCA skids too, hopefully, keep sticks and such getting in there...

    Generally speaking, yes. I suppose if you drooped the suspension enough to take the load off of the coil, you could hold the spring up and raise the seat.

    But, at that point, you're only two bolts away from being able to pull the shock out, at which point it would be much easier to adjust.

    Righto. I asked because I have BAMF LCA skids and there is no contact with mine.

    How do you calculate lift height if there is a difference side to side in stock height? For example...my original measurements in the front was 20" on driver side and 20.5" on passenger side. Was the driver side 1/2" low due to Taco lean? Should it have been 20.5" as well?

    I guess what I'm asking is if I need to lift the driver side 3.5 inches to truly have 3" of lift (that's just as an example...I would rather be around 2 3/4").

    Yeah I did that. It's still low though. I'm trying to figure out how to make it 2.75" of lift and still keep it level in the front. I apparently need top plate spacers to get 2.75" of lift but I'm unsure of which to add.This is what I have so far...



    So if anyone can help me with this I'd appreciate it.

    So you have the lift installed now? If so, which springs?
