Ome coils

The shocks on there are 5100's for the back.
The front I am running 4 inch spindle lift with the icon 2.5 with about 1 1/4 preload so it sits around 5 or so inches front.

 

Pic please. Love the look of those huge setups but so much more involved

 

Still running the stock or tires 265/70/16 until bald then move to a 285/75/16.


Edit... a tad more sag In the rear when loaded. Very close to level unloaded .

 

You look a little nose high and yes bigger tires.

 

I'm running 888s and even with all my added weight, including a full set of skids, I'm measuring 23 1/2" rear and 23" front. You guys must have hard winters. I put mine on over a year ago and they at least still have yellow paint on them.

 

It is a tad nose high, need to get the rear end situated. Just haven't had the time or space to truly mess with it. I started with just a bilstein lift, stock coils, then the icons were handed to me by a friend. So I went full retard with the spindles. Was originally just going to keep the 5100's and lower them off the first perch to 0. Then the diff start leaking and truck was quarantined for 38 days to fix it. I was going to fix the rear ended a couple of weeks ago, as I found some time. Got rear extended brake lines, extended rear 5100's, the aal and other leaves I may need, plus all the necessary tools. Start to slide the jack under and notice the rear diff is leaking again.
Since the rear brakes are tied to the diff, I put everything away and need to make a dealer appointment.

 

Man, thats tough luck. Havent had any major issues with mine yet. But yeah adding that much lift can get really involved, especially with other mods i want to get done. Still need ovtune, leather seats, etc

 

Front bumper coming on Monday for me. Should lower the nose a 1/4 inch.

 

Ya i cant really give it a good cleaning for like four months. I was able to get a coat of fluid film on the underside before last winter, so that helped but also picked up alot of dirt and debris

 

Nice setup btw. Everything i want!!!

 

Yea get rid of that block and upgrade ur leafs. Alcan will make a full custom pack to your want

 

Thank you. Being retired gives me lots of time to read TW and blow my kids inheritance.

 

That’s awesome!

 

Sweet setup

 

I just put 887s on and the EL096r leaf pack with one additional leaf. i'm only 23" hub to fender in the front and 25.75" in the rear. I think I'm going to put a 1/4" spacer up front to bring the rake down just a tad.

 

Im installing 887, top plates and dakars this weekend. I can give you my measurements but i have a long box

 

shouldn't make a huge difference I wouldn't think

 

i have the 888s on my billy 5100s i only got 2.75" of lift.

 

where are you located at to have "harsh" winters like this?

i've had mine on longer than you and i'm riding around in Alaska. we have snow 9 months out the year.


Also, to add height i suggest getting top plate spacers from headstrong offroad. for every 1/4 inch spacer it gives you 1/2 an inch.

 

Im in calgary canada. Mucky for 5 months
