    6.5" Spindle/5100 lift front lift
    Well i known I’m gonna have to lower my bilsteins from 2.5, I’m just trying to figure out a way to get there without having to do a body lift. I’ve seen it done before, just don’t know how.
    is there any lift coils out there that can be pre-loaded? I plan on dropping the bilsteins from 2.5".

    I don't think there's any that recommend preloading them. You might get away with .85 on the 5100's.
    Once you drop your 5100's to 0 you'll only get 3ish from the coils plus 4 from the spindles putting you at 7, only a half inch more than you have now or close to 8 if you can do .85 but I don't see 9.5" happening.
    I think what you want to do is not possible you're basically trying to stack 3 lifts. It would put the suspension at a severe angle & you have next to no down travel. I may be wrong but I don't see it working. Maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in like Marie from @HeadStrong Off-Road .

    Yea I’ve been researching it and a couple guys have done it. But they have to be hitting the coils with the UCA, thanks for the help. I didn’t really think about it, but as of right now the only way to get that high would be a body lift which I’m not gonna do.

    No problem didn't want to see you get into a mess, I picture the uca's angled down like when it's jacked up & at full droop.
    I don't blame you for not wanting a body lift. They look like crap.
    If I was you I'd still get 885 or 887 & put you 5100's at 0. You'll end up with a better ride than the stock coils preloaded & gain another .5" in the process. I'm happy with mine.

    I ran 8” with stock uca’s and it had practically no down travel. You could feel the front end lift over every bump. I would say shoot for 8” with the JBA’s and you’ll still have a slightly decent ride. I wouldn’t suggest going to 9.5” with spindles. Only way I would go that high is with a Fabtech drop bracket.

    Yea i figured that out. I’m gonna be at 8.5” with the JBAs. Hopefully the extra .5 won’t be too much, if it is I’ll lower it.

    Yeah we have one but with his blocks having multiple holes we were able to move the axle forward & didn't need it.

    You should be ok, worst case you rub slightly on the cab mount or the rear inside corner of the flares. Flares can be trimmed with razor knife.

    What shocks did you end up using in the rear? I was going to suggest these.
    Great price, they are a little longer than the b110's which is what I need as well, almost 30in extended. I forgot logistics wise which way they may encounter an issue when flexing but I'm probably going to install some sumo springs to prevent bottoming out the shocks.
    Have them sitting in my garage at the moment ready to install for my "custom" rear lift :rofl:
