    Have had these on for little over a year. Installed them straight out of the box as you can see in the picture there are 11 threads showing. Anyone know how much of a lift that is? If any? How much can I adjust them without completely messing up the drive quality?

    Sorry the shocks are a tad dirty.

    Hey Rudy. Did you find the answer you were looking for? I did a lot of searching around and asking. Once I found out that approximately 8 threads showing was an inch, then 16 on mine was 2" out of the box. The ride was pretty smooth showing 16, but i was not happy with the height. Especially because i was gonna be installing new 285/70r17s. I now have 20 threads showing on each side. So it should be at 2.5" of lift, plus the new height with the taller tire. After a good alignment, the ride quality is awesome.

    Had gotten some different answers but your is by far the easiest to understand. Good to know. I still have stock UCAS so might leave it as it for the time being :(

    Yea bro. I would wait and save up for some UCAs. They are pricey, but do the job. I was told total chaos is easiest to get real good alignment. But you're on the right track. Wait before you crank up those coils, don't wanna put stress on other parts and then have to replace those too. Good luck. I'm learning a lot too. So I'm no expert. :D
