888 on a second gen?

so I will be installing some aftermarket uca's soon and am considering new suspension changes/upgrades$$$. My thought is that the 888 coils are .5" longer than my 885 coils. I got 1.75" after everything settled. I added a .5" spacer and it went to 2.5". I know 887's are supposed to give 3" but I doubt it. I'm all strongly consider going stupid money route on a full bypass setup. Any thoughts on triple8?

 

Get adjustable coilovers.

My 885s gave me the same lift as stock coils with 5100s set at 1.75" (2.5" on my access cab)

If you're running 5100s, the .5 spacer allows you to use most of the up travel available - something to consider - with room to spare before bottoming out the shock. Most people don't know they have unused travel available on their 5100s when lifting.

 

I didn't know. I will probably go the coilover route but it's going to derail my purchase of some 34x10.5 tires.

 

They should fit on your current setup just fine

 

Oh they will fit. It's just the huge price tag that comes with them. I was looking at bypass shocks to try and keep my wife willing to go off-road with me. (She hates the ride currently). We went out with a friend that has Bp-51's on his jk and the ride was super plush.
