    I've read through the Bilstein instructions again and am wondering if coil clocking in relation to the top plate really makes a difference. After reassembling on the bench I clocked the top plate with the lower mount but didn't check to make sure the coil was at the same position. Taking it in for an alignment but thinking I'll pull them off again and check everything over since I'm still sitting at 4-5" high after driving a few miles and measuring again. The front is sitting about 1/4" higher than the rear right now and I was looking to maintain factory rake, so I may end up dropping it to setting 2 or 3.

    My guess on that tire size is 265/70/17. I'd like to know what size @Archertl33 has for those KM3s, because they look kind of like 255/85s.
