    Hey guys,

    I currently have ome 887 coils with bilstein shocks set at 0. I have 2.5" aals in rear. Front is still a hair low. I want front to be level or slightly high. What is the best option? Raise bilstein to first notch? Add a spacer on the strut? Thx guys

    You could get a 1/4 inch top plate spacer, which would give you about 1/2 inch of lift. These kind of spacers go on top of the top plate, there is no need to disassemble the coil and strut and your stock top plate studs should be long enough for the 1/4 inch spacer. I would get a alignment after install, $70 to make sure your tires don't get messed up.

    I talked to dan at wheelersoffroad he suggested the same. A set of 10mm spacers should do the trick. Thanks ill post up how it goes!
