Bilstein 5100 with OME 887 spring

Post up some pictures OP.

 

I think one of my ex-girlfriends is sitting in your truck right now.

 

Just updated post with pictures.

 

Lol good thing she’s an ex

 

That means he was into big girls at some pint though so is that actually good? Lol

 

I know, that’s why I said it’s a good thing she’s an ex lol.

 

LOL

 

Maybe packaged wrong?

 

Here's a question were not asking. Do you have an aftermarket bumper?

 

There is a sticker around the spring that says 887

 

Well shit. That was my genius idea

 

Nope. Trucks completely stock. Besides Method NVs and 265/75/16 Wildpeaks

 

Yup then something is wrong with the coils. The only other thing that could be wrong is that they flipped the bottom perch upside down but that would give you too much lift, not too little. So I think the coils are wrong

Unless did you do before and after measurements? Or are you just going by the wheel gap? Because you aren't gunna have any more wheel gap than you did before because you lifted it however you put bigger tires

 

I would think you would notice 2” even getting in and out

 

I got the lift after having the tires. And the front of the truck is sitting level to the rear, maybe a little lower. So that means the coils only lifted the truck .5 inches.

 

How much are the 887s supposed to lift?

They aren't the right spring rate for our generation truck so it's hit or miss if they actually lift to the full advertised lift height. OME coils are crap. I wish I never spent the $167 for them and just put the 8" lift that I'm planning to do in a year.

2”, but that’s with their shocks. Would that make a difference?

 

I don't think a gas shock would provide lift, it just damps out spring oscillations.
