    So im hearing mixed comments on whether or not its okay to run Bilstein 5100s with OME coils at the .85" setting? I know the recommendation is to always keep this setup at 0", but how many of you run them at .85"?

    Curious about setting mine from 0 to .85 to get a slight amount if lift instead of ordering top plate spacers.

    Ive done alot of research decided to go 4" maxtrac spindles with a rear 3" leaf. I was considering 887's. From what ive read as long as you have uca's the .85 is ok. Not recoomended option but will work. The 887 should give u 2.5-3" of lift at zero

    If you are 4x4, you need to be mindful of your CV angles. 3in is the recommended max before you start putting wear on the boots. If you have the boot fins already touching, I wouldn't mess with adding any more lift.

    My 887's have me just at 3 inches I don't know what you attained with yours but I wouldn't add anything on top of the but the 1/4 driver's spacer, and definitely wouldn't go up to .85 either.
