What to do? Ome 885 w/ 5100s

So I’m assuming or hoping that the coils have finally settled but not the way I wanted it to be. I don’t know what the OEM measurements on stock height but right now from center of the wheel to fender it measures

(front) 21.5”
(Rear) 23.75”

I do have a 2” block in the rear but I want the truck to be level. I don’t want to take apart the setup and Re do it so is it worth to take the 2” block off or add a 1/2 spacer?
Thank you! I’m still learning.

 

I don’t think a 1/2” spacer would be a bad idea. Not sure though. I’m on stock coils with 5100’s. That’s exactly why I stuck to stock coils. Heard about the sagging

 

Yeah man it sucks. What notch are you on? Should’ve just stayed with stock lol.

 

Are you willing to take the front apart again? If so, you could put the 885s up another notch or put in a 1/2" spacer (which will require longer studs, meaning the front will have to be taken apart). Or, a 1/4" spacer can fit up top with the studs you got on and will lift ~1/2" to the front.

 

I’m on top setting with my long bed. Talked to Bilstein direct. Said it’s fine. Ride is stiffer than stock but Imo I’m good with it. No nose dive body roll. Feel planted. Also no sag. Ground to fender 37 5/8” fronts. Rear aal about 1” -1.25” rake. I say run oem coils. Bilstein also said 5100’s are meant for stock coils.
Good luck bro

 

Pick for reference

 

Would running it up one notch bring it to 3”?

 

Prob

Probably not, its up to you if you want to take up 1 or 2 notches. Same with OEM coils, the higher the notch the stiffer itll be, but with the 885 you'll go less notches to get higher results.

 

That will increase a stiffer ride as well right?

 

Yes

 

It looks great. Filled with gear, it would be level not the Cali bro look I bet it rides great too. Moving it a notch up would make the ride stiffer.

 

Or get a 1” block

 

It actually is a nice ride haha.

 

Truck looks great bro

 

Here is 5100 w/885 on 0 setting.
I have ~22.5" hub to fender.

AAL in the back at ~23.5.

 

I’ll re measure mines tonight after I’m off.

 

Thank you man

 

Ditch the 885, use your factory coils and move the 5100s to the 5th setting for a 1 inch rake. My son's is on the 5th setting with a 1 inch rear block and it rides great, looks great too. I personally think he needs a 2 inch block but he is dead ass level. The ride is great and the more miles on my 5100s with factory coils I swear it gets better.

 

Okay so, I don’t have the stock Coils but I’m wondering if I were to bring it up a notch how much lift would that give me and how bad of a ride that would be?

 

1 notch 1/2” or a little more
