    Just a guess, lower spring perches installed upside down.

    Pics would help.

    Are you a standard cab 4x4? And pics would help of the suspension. Where the springs clearly marked 883x?

    My 883's netted me just UNDER an inch of lift with 5100's on the 0 clip. I get that i'm an AC but something isn't right.

    I thought the numbers were
    double cab v6 4.0L
    bilstein 5100 set to 0
    AAL = 1.5-2" lift rear
    OME 883x = ~2" lift front

    might be slight difference on lighter reg cab with lighter 2.7L i4 engine but still

    sound like something with mod potential

    No i think the AC and DC get like 1.25" according to the charts... but my real life experience was .75-1" of lift for the 4.0.

    This is the funniest thing I’ve seen today.

    how do you like the setup and has it settled? I’m looking to do the same but was hoping for more like 1.75 in the front.
