Why am I getting this much front lift with 5100s and 884?

I'm a noob, so I appologize in advance for any dumb questions I may ask.

I just got the front done- 5100s set at 0, OME 884, .25" spacer on driver's side, and LR UCAs.

I still have to put in the AAL.

I was expecting 2" of front lift. Right now it measures about 4". How much will it settle?

 

I have that combo on a 2.7 reg cab 4wd and it settled a little under an inch after about six months. I now have 2.75" of lift.

 

How many alignments did you get over the course of that time?

 

Did you install it yourself or have a shop install it? Spring perch could be upside down, or maybe the 5100s aren't in the 0 position.

 

this.

 

Prerunner 4 cylinder by any chance? Toytec recommended 883s for 2 inches up front with 5100s at 0 for my peerunner 4 cyl dcsb

 

OP I edited my post. It wasn't quite an inch, I had to look at my measurements. It took me a month to get it aligned, but I only put 200 miles on it in that time. I have since put about 1000 miles on it and haven't had it aligned again. That's because I'm considering getting top plate spacers and Dakars for the rear.

 

Looks badass as it sits. Bro Leans look good!

 

I did it myself, but I brought the OEM struts to a shop and had tgem press the OEM coils off and put the 884s on the 5100s.

The shocks come set at 0, right? I told the guys not to remove the snapring.
I see three groves behind the coil, and the concave side of the perch is against the coil.

 

Not really my style. I tow a boat and load the back with firewood.

 

pic is worth a thousand words here.

 

Other side

 

Hmmm, perches seem to be in the correct position, down like a bell.

 

Cv boots

 

I4 4x2 or V6 4x4

 

I4 4x4

 

No expert but I was told 883 for stock dcsb I4 dcsb 4x2 because 884 would be closer to 3-3.5 inch. Per Toytec on my rig 883 with 5100s at 0 should he 2 inch lift. You have no front armor.either to bring it down. Maybe that's the issue?

 

DSM didn't have 883. I researched it on here for months. Everyone was saying 2" with 884 and AC. I never thought about the engine size.

I may have to put in a new leaf pack in the back. I hate leveled trucks and I'm afraid an AAL will level it at the most. I'd like to have a rake close to stock only up higher.

 

Toytec said 884/OME shocks would be 3+ on mine. They have 883 in stock as far as I know, you might call?
This is my best guess, my truck isn't lifted and I'm the least experienced one here but just had a talk with Toytec last week about springs for mine and that's what I was told
