    I had 887s. Once I had skids, bumper, and winch I lost height for sure.

    When I added 886s I gained a full inch in ride height compared to the 887s.

    Interesting... Well Ill still be happy as its higher than what I have now... Skids and sliders are weighing the stock front suspension down bad... Luckily I have a AAL in the rear so thats not sagging lol

    Only thing I can think is that my UCA and LCA are tightened too tight? I can see 3.5 inches, maybe, but 4-5 inches means I did something wrong. Hopefully someone will chime in.

    I initially had around 3" in front with the 887s and has since settled to around 2.5", have mine with billies set at "0".

    Thanks. I was worried they'd look too skinny but they look just about perfect to me.

    I rock 235/85s which are only 9.5 inches wide. So, don't look too skinny to me!
