Billy 5100 shocks + what coils to get 3" in front?

You keep saying that

 

The billies are set at 0 , the coils provide the lift

 

I see

Any difference 4x4 to prerunner ?

 

So on a 2010 4x4 AC one would probably get 3 inch with these coils? So should I get the top spacer or not? Will 3 3/4 inch up front mess with CV or drive shaft and cause issues? Just trying to decide what to order? ????

 

You will more than likely get the full 3" with the 885 coils alone , 3 3/4" of lift is too much for a 4x4 .

No top plate spacers required for you for 3" of lift , but if you are using 5100's for the front you will want a 1/4" top plate spacer for the driver's side lean . If you are using OME shocks up front , you want the OME trim packer for the driver's side lean .

 

Sounds like 885 coils it is. I allready have the 5100s and the 1/4 driver lean spacer. Just need to decide if I should get the LR control arms or wait to see if the alignment can get done or not.

 

OP
any plans for the rear?

 

Does it matter which 885 goes on which side? I'm getting ready to add 885's and 5100's this weekend and don't want to hit any roadblocks

 

It does not. They are same spring rate and length.

 

No

 

Thanks

 

well the 5100s are ordered as are the 885 coils. Trying to decide on how to build the rear leafs. I have a canopy to think about. hmmm

The shop says they can get the alignment within specs without new ucas. I am tempted to see if they can. But I have a feeling I will be ordering new ucas in a month or so. Or swallow the the bill now.
hmm

 

If they say they can do it, ask if there's no charge if they can't.

 

It has a 2" block in it now. Trying to decide between an add-a-leaf or a set of springs. I believe I have the non-TSB leafs.

 

Good call on that. lol
I ran it by the place I am going to get some new wheels at. They said the guys at the shop I am using know their stuff. He kinda said what I am thinking. See if they can do it and if need be then get new ucas.
I am leaning towards the latter

 

Where is the cheapest place to get UCA's?

 

I got my Light Racing UCA's from Fat Bob's Garage for $380. Pretty good deal.

So Eibach coils give you 1.6 but OME gives you how much lift?

I have 5100's and wanted to set em at .85 with OME 885's and get a 1/4 inch spacer on both sides for 3 inch lift. But from reading in here that would get me apparently almost 4 inch lift in the front???

I have a DCSB
