Only 1” lift with 5100’s set on top clip

Hey there.
I’ve got a 2021 DCLB and installed Bilstein 5100’s up front and Icon AAL 1.5” in the rear.

My issue is that I’ve got the Bilsteins set to the top clip but only got 1” of lift, according to my floor to fender measurements.
Before = 36”
After = 37”

I’ve got a Decked system in the bed and an RSI EVO A Smartcap probably adding 250 pounds together so it’s sitting pretty much level with all that weight in the back.
Level is good, I just expected a bit more height up front.

Any ideas why I didn’t get more lift up front?

 

Did you measure from centerline of wheel to fender?

 

The spring perch isn’t upside down? Maybe?

 

Thanks!
Looks like I’m at 1.5” of lift from the centerline to the fender.
That’s better, but now I’m confused. Same wheels, same tires. I can’t wrap my head around why the difference.

 

Hmmm, I’ll have to look.
Thanks. I’ll update once I check it out.

 

Looks like the perch is installed correctly.

 

The 5100s for the 2021 show 0-2” of lift but those are set in stone , can always be a bit less or even more. Looks like you fell on the less side at 1.5”.

 

Thanks!! It sure does look that way.
The ride is great, glad I did it.

 

I was at 37” at 4th setting moved up last year 2” up front 37 5/8” DCLB. Both sides read 37”?

 

Yeah, both sides at 37. I’m thinking I might be losing a bit of lift since I have all the weight in the back or maybe my pre lift measurements were off.

 

Yeah bro maybe. Every truck is different

 

Your lift will also be effected by which coils you are using, stock, aftermarket.

 

He is on oem springs so no sag.
