    So after fighting my coils for nearly a week I finally got them on and it definitely isn't right. I compared my before and after measurements from center of hub to straight up to the fender and I got 20.5" before, and 25" after. I thought the 884 coils were only supposed to give about 1.5"? Is that only for 4x4? I'm waiting on the alignment shop to open now and I'm gonna talk to them about it, but this isn't going to work. If they don't settle down about 3", which I don't see happening, I'm taking these off. My UCA's are stretched to the max since I didn't expect to need longer ones. It rides like a turd, and sits waaaay to high in the front.

    5" of lift*
    autocorrect got me...

    5100s with the clip at the lowest setting. The coils had the 884 sticker on them. I didn't measure them before I put them on. Maybe they were tagged wrong? I got them from wheelers.

    I bet your perch is upside down

    And 1.5" for a 4x4 and around 2" for a prerunner. I'm running them on my prerunner and I got 2"

    This.

    I'm a 4x4 access cab and got 2" from my 884's. No reason why you should be getting much lift than this.

    See this thread for further information (similar scenario as you):

    These.

    Thanks for the help guys! I'm glad that it wasn't the wrong parts or anything serious. I should be able to fix them this afternoon.
