Sounds like your spring perch is upside down.

 

Post pics. But I would almost guarantee that's the issue.

 

Unless he put some 885s on the top setting.

My first lift was 885s on 5100s, I told the shop to leave them on the bottom setting, I picked the truck up with super bro lean because he put them on the top setting because "I know thats how you guys like it" and then refused to put it back and said drive it and see how I like it, if I didn't he'd put it back. Luckily I lived a block away and hated it and made him switch it back

 

Only pic I have for right now. I can try to get some better ones in a few. No idea what a spring perch is lol. As far as I know they are stock coils. Yes it's 4x4, and no idea on setting. Got them from @2015whitetaco. So he would be the man to ask.. lol

 

Pretty sure they were Chris's @2015whitetaco. 5100's, stock SR5 springs, and setup for a snowplow/ cow catcher. Possibly at the highest setting.

When I had 5100's and 885's (same bumper and winch), i had them set at 0.

Had about 2" of lift.

 

Yeah get some better pics for us lol. How do your CV angles look? Thats alot of lift for a 4x4

 

How many notches/ grooves are below the lower spring perch? Any top plate spacers?

 

On a side note..


GREETINGS FROM LAKE TAHOE!

 

Santa bringing me a new cab for 2017.

 

Oh shit ​

 

Tree branch fall on it? That sucks, sorry to see that.

 

Oh crap. Snow bombs? They were hitting the roof pretty hard at my boss's cabin. His neighbor up there lost a windshield.

 

Yep..

 

Shit! It's that a total or just the cab?

 

No branch, at least no limb. Couple chunks came down and scratched my shell and driver fender, but the cab took the brunt of it by far. I'm going to have to kick the roof back up with my feet to drive it back home, and hoping the windows don't pop, since that'll make for a really miserable drive.

Luckily we brought 2 cars, so if that happens, woman and daughter can go in the other car and I can freeze solo.

 

I don't think it's near a total, doors are fine and gaps look fine, but the drip rails are 2" lower than the tops of the doors and the center is probably 8" lower than the drip rails.

Could weld a new roof section in but the drip rail area is incredibly strong, and damaged. So I'd think they'd need to weld in on the pillars somewhere and replace the drip rail/roof skin as one piece.

All this suspension talk is like sex to me... no idea what's going on.. If anybody is around concord/walnut Creek and wants to check it out at some point today/this evening let me know and I can swing by or something lol. We also dropped the sway bar

 

yeah no I think you should remeasure you dint gain that much

the coil bucket is not upside down it is the set up I was running

were you on level ground when you measured before and after?
