    Yeah, that’s totally different than mine.

    You also have yours under the sway bar bracket (like I did mine), was there interference issues without them?

    No just mounted under the sway bracket and towards the engine as far as possible so it was good and tight with no shake

    Measure your ride height. I don't think anyone here would know since it's your truck.

    Mine came with a slightly different (small) amount of preload already. They set it up perfectly to compensate for the lean. If using more preload, just keep the difference between the sides the same and you should be golden

    Yeah same here mine came set with one side with 1” inch of threads and other side 1/2” so i will Start with that and crank until i reach Desired ride height.

    Icon actually has a decent video of measuring ride height and adjusting coil over after measuring full droop and getting difference. I actually Want to bring mine down a bit as the 886 rides to high and to stiff.

    What are you guys using to lube the threads before cranking them? I didnt See any recommended stuff on ADS site?

    I just have 1/8”-3/16” more preload on the driver side and the fender height is equal both sides.

    On thing to note before you take measurements is:
    - install shocks
    - make sure on flat surface
    - jack front of truck up so front wheels are off
    the ground.
    - drop back down and drive it out and back into the garage before you measure
