    So I measured my truck from center of hub to fender on all 4 corners. Truck completely stock, 265/65/17s
    I had the shop put on 3.5” cst spindles, icon UCAs, 5100 on all corners, 1.5” Deaver j66 on the leafs, and 285/75/16. Told him to set the fronts at 0” I only wanted lift from the spindles. These are my before and after measurements and it is just not making sense. What am I missing?

    Passenger front- 20 1/2”——- 26”
    Driver front 20 3/8” ————- 25 7/8

    Passenger rear- 21 3/4” ——- 23 1/2”
    Driver rear- 22” —————— 23 1/8”

    My first thought is did he in fact crank up the 5100’s? These just don’t add up at all and I double checked those original measurements and the current ones. Any ideas? It’s looks great but definitely high in the front and something is up here.

    Is the shock eye to eye length is the same as it was before you put spindles on?

    i looked under and yes the shocks were both set at the top setting which makes sense. I measured again when I got home from work, .5” lower on driver side, went to the shop told them to adjust the passenger side to the 0” setting and the driver side to the 1st setting. They did that but they said measurements still show driver side is .5” lower. Idk
