Opinions on which route to go for more lift.

I have a 2011 dcsb 4x4 and i have 5100 all around and 885 coils up front on the zero setting, also a progressive leaf pack in the rear with a tsb. I installed this in march and the front has settled a fair more than i thought. I currently am at 21.5 on the drivers side front, and 22 on passenger side front and 23 on drivers rear and 23.25 passenger rear. I has dropped about .75 inches since install, i had sliders at the time and I added a 3/16 ifs skid plate a few months ago.

Would going up to 887 get me closer to 23 around or would 886 due to weight which i thought were for plate bumpers but the measurements are not proving that. I will also have new UCAs in a month or so.

 

887s and top plate spacers will give you another inch. I have an aluminum bumper, synth line winch and sliders, so about half the weight of a full steel setup. Consensus with the shops I talked with were that 886 would be too stiff so I went with the 887s and OME shocks. Rides great!

 

I think the 886s would not sag out on you as badly as the 885s seem to be doing. I run 886s and have tons of weight on my truck.

Ultimately I ended up adding a 1" body lift to my setup. Any higher and I'd have to add side rails just to get in and out of my cab

 

ya i dont have a plate bumper or anything just a 45lbs ifs skid and sliders. but these mothers sagged, alot and they are the 885x so im not sure, would the 887 get me that much more but still sag in 6 months another inch down?
