    I couldn't really find any photos of how the angles are suppose to look, and I just want to get a piece of mind. They don't seem to bad and I put it in 4WD on pavement to see if I could hear any grinding or not. I think I'm good, but again just making sure.

    Also from other photos of people running the 885/5100s and Dakar/5100s with 265/75s my front is higher and my tires looks sucked in/small which I know is to be expected. But it just doesn't seem right maybe I'm just going crazy. One last thing the ride.. If I hit a pebble my front end bounces like it has blown shocks not sure if that's the way it's suppose to ride?

    Coil perch looks to be upside down, getting you way more lift than you should have.

    Post up some more pictures of the front shock setup.

    Yup, perch is upside down, common mistake. Those struts don't come with instructions I I recall. The ring should be completely covers by the cup to keep ot from coming loose and failing. Also with those springs, the setting should be at the lowest point.

    Yep. I can tell from the first picture that your spring perch is upside down. Just redo it and it should give you about 2.75 inches of lift since your an access cab. I bet right now you have well over 4 inches of lift!

    I did the same thing when I installed my 885's and nitrochargers, flip the perch and you'll be good.
