Can you put top spacers on 5100 bilsteins 888 coils for extra lift

Hey all! I installed bilstein 5100s all the way around last year with ome 888 coils w AAL DEAVER leaf. I’d like to get another inch or so of lift but I also wanna do it cheap yet effective and safely. Any ideas? Top spacer from headstrong or rough country is what I’ve been thinking about. Thanks in advance

 

Yes, I see people install the 1/4" spacer for taco lean all the time. I also see people install 1/2"spacer on driver side and 1/4" on passenger side. I have not seen anyone install more than a 1/2"spacer on 5100 and OME springs.

 

A one inch body lift is an option.

 

I have 1/2" on drivers and 1/4" on passenger with 887.
Sits level (side to side) but had to install dif drop to alleviate bad cv angles. Id imagine with 888 theyd be even worse

 

well I’ve installed differential drop kit and shims too. I’ve also installed a .25” spacer on the driver side for taco lean as headstrong recommended with my lift. I should’ve probably mentioned that in op. Do you have a pic you could post with your lift? Maybe I could just get the .5” spacers and add them to my front end. I just don’t want to do anything that may over extend the front 5100s or preload the 888s too much. Also while I’m at it I wouldn’t mind lifting the rear the same amount with blocks or another AAL. Again thanks for the responses and advice to all

 

this is with hd dakars, 285, also have 2 degree shims. Now that you mention over extending, I get a harsh bang over some pot holes in the city at a higher speed, but nice and smooth offroad no bangs

 

Nice truck man!

 

I have 887’s with 5100 and I added 3/4” top spacer on driver and 1/2” on passenger, i also have spc uca’s. No diff drop kit yet

angles are ok with truck weight, but going over bigger bumps at speed cause my uca’s to contact the spring.

 

Very nice ride

 

I'm on 888s and 1/2" spacer on driver and 1/4" on passenger. Sits even side to side. About 2.5" lift up front total

 

Pics??

 

Curious how much of a difference in height between 887 & 888 with this set up hub to fender

 

Awww doc!! That’s what I’m looking for right there
