    I hope so. Cause I've spent a bunch of money and time trying to get it to 3". All the research I've done upfront and I'm still got tons of rake. Almost feel like I shouldve gone adjustBke coil overs from the beginning. Very great fil that everyone is so helpful on here.

    Something doesn't make any sense with the height you are seeing with 885's and 1/2" spacers but I'll be damned if I can figure out what is causing it

    Wow...I'm sure it's way over that. My buddy used an impact wrench on it. It does look like it's saying 20 ftlb to me too. Great. At now I have a lead to chase down. I'll investigate it as soon as I get home. Thanks guys!!! I'll post my progress as I go.

    That would be a shit tonne of pressure on that tiny nut to compress the coil that much no ?

    Yeah that's what I was thinking. But I'm not as mechanically experienced so didn't want to insult him when he only charged me $200 to install my front coils/struts, sway relo, LR UCA's, Dakars, rear nitros, and cb drop.

    Light, Bumpers, and lots of switches.
    Got my lift installed last night. It took about 6 hours. We spent two hours waiting on a spring compressor but ended up decompressing and compressing the springs a different way. So we coulda finished in 3 and a half if we didn't wait for a spring compressor. For anyone on the fence it's a very straightforward install. I didn't have any problems except removing the nut on top of the shock.

    So if I haven't posted this picture yet. This is what my truck looks like with 885's up front and all pro in the rear. Rims are 17's with Cooper RTX 265/70/17

    can also be written as "shit tonne"

    Looks to be a bit of bro-lean going on. You get the front end aligned? How long have hey been on? Front settled in at all?

    Well, SPC came through big time, they are a really good company. Apparently I had balljoints from a bad run. I gave them the lot number and they mailed me a brand new set of balljoints. Good thing I work on cars for a living and get free labor and alignments haha.

    Very unhappy with a ProComp 3" lift I put on. the ride is horrendous. Have 33" tires and looking to keep around that 3" lift. Have heard of different people using the 884 while others use the 885. Have heard a lot of positive about OME, and I am looking for a lift that will still give me a nice ride on highway as well as offroad. During the week this vehicle is a pavement beater and it gets its offroad fix on the weekends. Current PC system beats me to death. Any advice would be appreciated!
