    Depends on who you buy from. Headstrong OffRoad included the carrier bearing drop in my kit.

    But I'm a 2nd Gen!

    I have a full OME kit.
    887s and trim packer up front and Dakar heavy duty leaf packs.
    I do have plate bumpers front and rear. The lift has been installed for over a year now.

    The rear hub to fender measures 24"
    But the front only measures 22"? I knew that it would settle some, but I don't even think that the 1/4" spacer up front would get my to 1" more. Any idea why its still 2" shorter?

    Im thinking of just saving some money and going Icons. I know that they're expensive, but idk what else to do, should ride better and get some more travel

    The 887s aren't designed for the bumpers you need the 886s and you should get your height back with the spacers

    I thought the 887s were for more weight? i.e. plater bumper and winch?

    The 887s are taller giving those that want 3 inches of lift just that without the off road bumpers and whatnot, the 886s are stiffer to handle the weight.

    Also I would put the 886s in without the spacers first to see if that gets you where you wanna be before adding the spacers. If you put the spacers in first it may be too much. If I'm wrong others feel free to pitch in please... @OZ-T

    I have 887 and a front bumper and got proper height gain, but I also tore off the sway bar and skids. Put me within the recommended range with adding the bumper, but removing the factory skids, oem bumper, and sway bar.

    My bumper is around 180lbs give or take. Plus I'll be adding a winch soon.

    I'll go 886 springs first. I'll get the 1/4" spacers if it doesn't get me close to where I want

    I couldn't believe it when I measured the hub/fender distance.

    Used half inch of spacers in the center support bearing. That got rid of the major clunk. But still have a bit of axle wrap. It's definitely better than before.

    So not as much weight as the full plate...that's why you were able to get by with it
