    Bilstein 5100's on all four corners. Front set @ 0 with OME 883x coils. Alcon leaf springs. Viper Alarm. Wet Okole seat covers. WeatherTech Floor liners front and back. Oem Toyota chrome exhaust tip. ARE Shell. America Outlaw Wheels.
    Hey fellas, I would like to install the driver side lean spacer but if I do I will only have like two threads left on the top plate mounting studs after the nut is fully tighten. Here's where I need your help. Would that be cutting it to close on the threads?
    Any and all input welcome.

    Yikes two threads. Nah man I wouldn't feel comfortable with that on my truck. I seem to recall having plenty of thread left when I did mine (5100's and 884's). Are you positive it's seated properly? What does the passenger side look like?

    Yeah that's exactly how I felt. No I don't have it installed yet. I just placed it on top of the nuts befor I took in apart to see how many threads I would have left.

    You really think it would be fine ? I feel nervous it being that close to the end.

    OK let me break it down a little closer. I already have the OME 883 on the billies set at 0. When I had them assembled from wheelers off road they I stalled 1.5 studs. I Installed the 1/4 " spacer just fine but now I would like to put a 1/2" spacer on the driver side and move the 1/4" to the passenger side for a little more lift. But with the 1.5" studs it leaves me with that two threads left on the studs.

    Well I think there's yer problem. This setup won't accommodate much more than a 1/4 spacer. You'll either need longer top studs to install the spacers or swap to 884+ coils

    Thank you I appreciate that !! That confirms exactly what I was thinking!!! That's what I love about this brother hood. I can always count on you guys!

    How much lift will the 884s give me on a DCSB prerunner?
