    That's what I thought. Not sure if the dude is just looking at the wrong parts or what. Anyone know if adding the spacers to get the extra .5" changes the ride of the 885s much?

    They didn't change my ride. The extra weight from the sliders & a full set of skids made it ride smoother. When I added the 1/4" spacers it rode the same as it did before I added them.

    sounds like you are echoing what I'm hearing. go with OME and call it a day. bumpstops are beneficial for both, but necessity for the extended billies.

    i might could answer if i knew what the crap you were talking aboot.

    I just put the 13mm spacers in, had the 886x and Dakars. Got final measurements in my build thread.

    Looks good, did adding the spacers make the ride feel any different? Doesn't stiffen the ride too much more, does it?

    None. The spacer sits above the strut, thus you are not preloading the spring. I yanked the sway bar too, and am really happy about it.

    Surprisingly they aren't too bad. CV at full steer is much sharper than at full extension. I did the diff drop because I was explicitly concerned about the CVs.

    I'll try and get some hard numbers before the weekend is over.
