Bilstiens with 888 coil

alright, so supposedly this setup is supposed to give you 3” of lift but after settling, seems like i only got 2”, maybe a little less. Ive seen some people with same setup that look higher than mine. Whats the secret? Is it cuz i got 2.5” blocks in back pushing tge wieght forward? Is it longbed issues, uca issues, or are they also adding spacers and not talking about it?

 

Proper colour, doors, and bed! The rims are sweet!

 

Ya but only 2” lift

 

Probably going to need to put that up on the next perch to get the lift you want or a different spring, a longer stiffer spring.

 

The recomendations when adding the 888 was always to set at 0, the spring does the work. This was supposed to be in case i wanted to add a bumper and winch, otherwise go with the 887 but like i said others who have same setup look higher, pretty sure they also set at 0, so just wondering

 

Maybe you have 2nd Gen bilsteins instead of 3rd?

888 and second notch is not the way to go, ride will be too rough. If you want more height buy a 1/4 top plate spacer to put above.

 

Where did you buy your set up?

Agreed.

 

I guess its a possibility, id have to check the paperwork, but still i should be getting 2.5”. Something doesnt add up. Another member had the same issue with his shortbed. Im on 0 setting with 888

 

4wheelparts and they installed as well. Last november

 

Ok. Pm Marie over at @HeadStrong Off-Road May be they can offer some advice better than I.

 

Thnx. Dont get me wrong. I am satisfied with it, just thought i should be getting another inch just in case i wanted to go with 285s

 

I agree, something is off. My bet is the spring, but, I understand what you were told.
Edit ..... to fit 285's your still going to need to trim and maybe a cab chop. Lift alone doesn't clear tires

 

Not this again... 3rd gen already have a 1 inch height increase over the 2nd gen. The max you can get is a 2 inch lift from stock before you need to change UCAS.
Please search before posting.

 

The chart is for 2nd gens

 

Since he is 2wd he could simply do a maxtrac 4" spindle to achieve level.

 

I got 3” in mine with spc uca.

 

Killer with gold. Gold headlight mod would be dope. Bilsteins on 888? Yours def looks higher than mine. So adding uca should get me the extra lift?

 

I have I want to black out the headlights, but gold would be something different. I’m on 5100/888 set at 0. I cannot guarantee if adding uca will make any difference.

 

I did metallic silver headlight

 

Wow that turned out quite nice. Gold headlights may work. At first I wasn’t sure if gold wheels will compliment the silver but the results seems to be prefect.
