    So you have a spacer up front? I'd take the spacer out and set the billies at 2.5

    It will still ride a little stiff but a bit better than the spacers.

    Get rid of your spacers and buy some 885's and 5100's

    If your getting 5100's pay the extra $150 for 885's. 1000x better

    885's are coil springs from OME old man emu.

    I have 885's and 5100's. Click on my build vvv


    Don't buy anything until you spend a good 1-2 months easing and researching. You will change your mind and it will open your eyes to a lot of things you may not have thought about.

    I have UCA's (upper control arms) too so around $570... I bought all my stuff of of TW. All new except for UCA's
    If you just put the 5100's@0 and the 885's you won't need UCA's and could save about $300
