Help with 5100 install

My dilema is that I cant get the knuckle up to meet the ubj with a jack under the lbj, it just lift the entire truck up. Loosen the cams I take?

 

Got it. Just losend the cams and was able to get it

 

Good luck!
I just did this.

 

What coil did you go with? I put in Headstrong 2" coils, got 3". Hopefully it settles after it gets driven some.


I didnt mark the cams before loosening them. Alignment is way outta whack. Gonna be a fun ride to the shop tomorrow!

 

I used some older 885s I got from a TW member.
Got 2 1/4" on driver side and 2 1/2" on the passenger side.
My 5100 are at 0.
My AAL was from Wheelers and I got almost 2".
I'm adding a shell and steel bumper next month.

Sounds like you got a nice lift out of it!

 

Did you put the perches on the zero setting?

 

Yes. Pre assembled by Headstrong. I havent driven it yet, I expect it to settle a bit. The OME coils on my 2004 did anyways.

 

Yeah, they will settle then. I have the exact same set up and mine settled at 23” hub to fender.

 

Ok cool, thats 3/4 of an inch or so on mine.
