Why OME 888 w/ 5100 didnt give me enough lift?

I got installed that setup and im at 22 inches hub to fender. I read alot of people here that got them to 23 inches

 

After settling or right from the get go? Pic of the strut and spring? You install it yourself?

 

Right from the get go , Shop installed it i can you confirm they are the right parts because I bought them myself


888 on 5100 set at 0 notch


For the rear they removed the overlod and put a 1.5 inch AAL so im at 23 inches hub to fender at rear


What can i do to get the front leveled now

 

Did they install the bottom bracket to the struts the correct way? It’s happened where they don’t and won’t provide the correct amount of lift. You have a pic of where the spring sits on the strut? The bottom of the spring.

 

Here’s a pic from the bilstein instructions.
There was a guy a while back with ome coils that were way off and his were not installed correctly.

 

If they installed it wrong (upside down) he’d have more lift not less.

 

And that makes sense, but there was a guy a while back with a quicksand taco that his was an inch short and I can’t remember or find out exactly what it was. I had thought it was the upside down install, but you’re right.

 

i can confirm

i can confirm its installed correct

 

will putting a 1 inch spacer be an issue?

 

Stock UCA’s?

 

yes

 

1" spacer, will give you 2". 1/2" will give 1"

 

I'm running same exact setup.
I pt the front 888's and 5100's on 2nd notch, (+1")
After market uca's
Full dakar springs in rear with a 1" block
5100's on all corners.
I'm 24.5" hub to fender

 

I thought 888s were already on the top end of lift height to work with stock uca’s? May need aftermarket if you add any more lift. I just have little 884 coils so I’m not an expert.

 

Anyone have any updates on this?? I have the 3rd gen 5100 on 888. 1/4 spacer in driver side, RF 21.5” and driver is 22”....

 

Did you read my post above?

 

Yes I did. I’m seeing a lot of people with the same problem, I wonder if something is wrong with a batch of the 888

 

I’m reading this everywhere, 888’s and 887’s giving barely 2” lift.

 

i just bought this setup so I’ll report how much lift I get when I install them. But why not just go up a notch+1/2 spacer? Should give you much more lift. Even just a 1/2in spacer will give you an extra inch.

Where did you purchase the kit from?
