    Wait... so with 5100's at 1.75 you measured 22" from the front hub to the fender and now with 5100's at 0 and Eibachs you're measuring 23.5"??? Somethings up man, that doesn't sound right. They should be a lot closer than that.

    I'm hoping he just mis-remembered his original measurement. I want to say that with Eibachs I'm around 23.5" but I could be misremembering myself... :eek:

    From hub to fender?? I dunno... Like I said, there's a lot of misremembering going on. I measured when I put the lift on almost a year ago, I couldn't tell you what I had for breakfast, let alone what that measurement was. I just thought it was odd that he is taller with Eibachs than he was with 5100's set at 1.75.

    22" was with OEM coils on 5100's set at 1.75. 23.5 he's claiming is with 5100's at 0 and Eibach coils.

    They haven't settled yet, and 1.6" (or whatever) is just a ballpark figure.

    Could be but mine were damn near the 1.6" mark out of the box and haven't settled enough to say so (same truck as the OP and installed in early March). For the OP's sake, I hope your right and it's not the dreaded upside down coil bucket.

    This I would buy. I've measured stockers at 20"

    This seems 2" higher than the norm. If the measurement is correct, the 5100's would have to be at an upper setting or the seats are upside down, as previously stated

    If that's the case, then he messed up the coil buckets or he's got the 5100's at .85 or 1.75.

    OZ, I guess you were right, 23.5 would be for a 3" lift and my memory is officially shot :eek:

    All the new OME coils , the " x " series aren't prone to settling like the older ones .

    My 885x's haven't settled at all in 10 months
