    The .85" lift setting is given with the OEM springs. Once you add a longer spring, with a higher rate, that ".85" setting now doesnt apply. With the 885's, the .85" setting gives slightly more than 1" lift, added to the lift the 885's give.

    Just worry about how to tighten/loosen a slotted head screw. Leave the truck stuff to the Americans.

    My ride quality improved from stock. Little stiffer over bumps but not too bad. Rear I'm using a block for now. Going to be upgraded to an aal here soon.

    Eh more stiff than I'd like. I was thinking about dropping it back down to 0" and using spacers just to not per load the coil but I'm going to be taking them off soon anyways. Idk if it matters but I have the 885x coils which supposedly don't sag so maybe that would contribute to them being really stiff.

    Rear I am running the Icon 1.5" pregressive leaf pack, which is smooth.

    So go with the billys set at .85 is or isn't reccomended? And with the .85 setting, why not go with like the 13mm spacer to get even more lift (I think they offer that right)? ...so just go with the 1/4 spacer ("trim packer?)? I'm just confused...
