    I got around 3.5” total like I had before. I got 2.5” from the spring and 1” from a small top spacer.

    Got a general question which is somewhat related to this thread. Preloading the spring with the Bilsteins shocks to gain height gives shitty rides, so does preloading Icon or King coilovers to gain height give worse rides than not being preloaded? If so, how are people dealing with that? Or maybe I'm talking about different stuff.

    Where did you order your coils from? Having a hard time finding just eibach coils online. Also how long did it take when you ordered the JBA’s? I ordered mine July 1st. Thanks to your post, I also got a 1/2” spacer so I’ll pretty much have same front setup.

    I ordered them from extreme terrain and the links on this thread should work. For your question in terms of shipping, it took about a week for them to ship out the JBA UCAs.

    I have the same coils on second clip 5100's. Steel bumper+winch/sliders. Rides like butter!

    Ya I was very surprised how well the truck rode after replacing the stock springs.

    I had 5100s second to last setting up on stock springs. Recently replaced stock springs with eibachs, performance grade I think? Ran the 5100s back down to 0 setting, 1/4 spacer on the driver side. Much better ride. Doesn't dive on stops. Also running camburg UCAs, and 285/75/r16s. It's a nice ride up front! Have some bilstein 5160s in my garage waiting to go into the rears.

    For everyone that’s been switching coils, how many miles you had on the shock? I probably got 100k on mine but 96.9999978664% pavement.

    I have them now and love it, but I am crazy and just got their MRR 3 way adjustables(extended length front so I can play with height fine tuning) with C59-302 springs(practically a OME 2885 specs wise )and a 2" rear block since I got brand new OEM leaf springs from the recall. They should hold the weight of a 105lb bummper and net me 3" of lift min with a quality ride. Will eventually figure out what leafs to get, more than likely Dobinsons anyways since they are located 20mins from my shop and literally have the best customer service I've ever seen"

    I had about 35K miles on them before I started messing around with my truck.
