Help! Billies at .85 or 1.75 for LEVEL?? '13 Sport DCLB 4X4

Great, thanks for the replies

 

I've got that in there now, and will have it transferred with my new setup. That is just to compensate for the driver's side lean.

 

You don't need a spacer if you are keeping the stock springs.

 

I have the stock Offroad springs, and have the spacer on the driver's side to correct the lean.

 

OEM springs are side specific to compensate for the lean, or so I read. Spacers were meant for aftermarket springs that aren't side specific.

 

It's true they are side specific (the new ones at least (they were color coded), and I would assume that is the reason (because of the weight difference from the gas tank), but at least with the set that's on there now, the driver's side was sitting 3/4" lower than the passenger's. Even now, (with the spacer installed) the driver's side is just shy of 1/4" lower than the passenger's side. Not enough to tell visually though.

So I don't know if the new springs are any different from the original ones that came with the truck.

 

OP, just check the measurements on both sides. If there is a ~ 3/4" difference, then the spacer will correct it. If not, then the spacer isn't needed.

Most people would never notice it anyway. I like many of you, have a touch of OCD. Once I knew there was a difference, I had to fix it.

PeeRunner you got me wondering if maybe they did fix that in the later models. I just checked the site I ordered the springs from, and they have different part numbers for an '05 Offroad, than they do for a '14 Offroad, for the same spring.

 

That's interesting. Could be the case.

I think I mentioned it elsewhere, but FWIW when I was at the .85 setting on my 5100s and stock SR5 coils I got 1.5" of lift up front. When I made the move to the 1.75 setting, it all normalized and I only gained 1/4" of height. So, might be of interest to someone.
