Old Man Emu: Questions, Answers & Pictures

They're most likely 884x then , would you keep the top plate spacers ?

 

Possibly if that will attain what im looking for. Haha

 

Which thickness ?

 

Honestly not sure looks around a half-3/4 inch on top the coil could be more just know they have 884's

 

Pretty hard to figure out what height you are likely to get with an unknown set up

 

True but without the spacer 884s vs 885s on a double cab is there any sizable differences?

 

No spacers

884's ~ 2"
885's ~ 2 1/2"

 

Perfect appreciate it oz-t see you all over this place!

 

Measurements aren't exactly the same across different trucks but that seems to be the average returns

 

Thanks!!!

 

What kind of height can I expect with 90021's, 885's driver trim packer and 1/2 top plates for the front with 5100's and dakars in the back?

 

3 1/2"

 

5100's are probably not long enough for a full dakar pack. You could screw up the shock if you flex it.

 

They are as long as the N182's pretty sure

 

Will my fronts be ok at that height with LR UCA's? Or should I get 1/4 tops instead?

 

That wasn't my understanding, but i could be wrong. HeadStrong Off-Road advised me to not mix dakars and the rear 5100's. I thought 5100's would work with 2" lift max.

 

I'm sorry , you are correct

Extended length is 1" shorter

I'll get new rears right after. But I should be ok as long as I don't do any flexing...right? Does anyone run around at 3 1/2 up front or is that too steep for my cv's?

 

Generally 3" is as high as you want to go with a 4x4

 

front:
OME front shocks #9000
OME springs 886
Icon UCAs

Rear:
Dakar leaf pack
OME shocks #60091

Front height before / after:
Drivers : 20.00 / 23.50
Pass : 20.50 / 24.50

Rear height before / after:
Drivers : 21.50 / 24.50
Pass : 22.5 / 24.75


I seem to have averaged 3.5 inches front, 2.75 inches rear.

I will be getting in the near future: bumper winch, Under body skid plates, and rock sliders. that will probably lower it a little bit.

after these readings, I don't mind the slight rake but, I'm entertaining the Idea of an 1/2 inch spacer for the drivers side front and 1/2 inch block for the drivers side rear.....is that realistic?

I'll attempt to insert a picture to this post when I remember to get one!
