    No. From what I have read on a lot of different threads, the 885 coil does the lifting. And if I set it to zero then I will get 2.5 inches and adding the top plate spacer will give me the full 3. Correct me if I am wrong but I read this a few places.


    Since I have the bilstein 5100's and 885's do I not need this taco lean spacer?

    The 5mm trim packer I linked is for OME shocks only

    You can use a 1/4" top plate spacer on the driver's side for taco lean with 5100's , if you wanted more lift you could go with a 1/2" top plate spacer on the driver's side and a 1/4" spacer on the passenger side but bear in mind to use 1/2" spacers you need to use longer studs

    Ok good.

    I am setting the 5100's at zero and using the top plate spacer. I think I should set pretty level with the 2" leaf and 885's.

    If I may , I would suggest adding the extended studs when you assemble the coils / shocks in case you want to go with the 1/2" / 1/4" route later

    Brilliant idea!! Because even if I keep the 1/4" the bolts wont matter, but it leaves room for the upgrade. :thumbsup:

    You Canadiananans are alright, aye.

    Yeah, the trim packer is for the taco lean but dont think it works on the 5100 shocks.
    What size top plate spacer did you get? Hopefully not the 1/2" ones. Some have gotten those by accident.

    Nope. Just the 1/4" spacer. Hope to get it together soon. Just need to find time to get it done.

    Looks good! I was wondering if I take my coils off the strut can I take the strut compresser of the coil to paint then apply them back on to resemble? Thought someone said I wouldn't be able to squeeze them back
