Yes Prolee,
Looking good. I’m definitely leaning that way for my AG Pro. I hope I can fit 285’s on my SCS wheels and clear the front.

I apologize for the upside down and sideways pictures, not sure why it’s doing that?
Before:
From the ground
Front Left 35 1/8
Front Right 35 1/4
Rear Left 36 5/8
Rear Right. 37
From the center wheel(Which was hard to find center)
Front Left 20 1/2
Front Right 20 5/8
Rear Left 22
Rear Right 22 3/8
After:
From the ground
Front Left 37 1/4
Front Right 37
Rear Left 38
Rear Right 38 1/4
From center wheel
Front Left 22 1/2
Front Right 22 1/2
Rear Left 23 1/4
Rear Right 23 1/4
Will measure again when I put more miles on it and see where the final numbers are. Overall the front seems to be about a 2” lift and the rear is set at 1”.

Looks good. The most accurate way to measure is fender to the bottom of your rim. Then measure diameter of the rim and divide by 2. Subtract 1/2 of that diameter and that will put you smack dab center Everytime without an error for eyeballing it

If his center hub measurements are accurate that's exactly the height I have on my orp. Pros already get the liner tuck at port so your set up front. I had minor rub on mudflap but a heat gun molded it out of place and zero rub now.
My rims are 17x8 4.5 backspace and zero offset

I apologize...thank you Sunshine! Will update on the ride quality next week after it settles a little bit more. As of now it does seem to ride stiffer but with a little bit more noticeable noise dive, may be due to the center of gravity now that it sits higher.
I was also able to get side by side shot with my Nephew's stock 19 ORP. Hopefully it will give you guys a better reference on the lift.

By the pics Prolee,
It’s definitely a noticeable difference.

It is interesting that you are experiencing a more noticeable nose dive. I'm wondering if this is because it lifts the shock into a different place on the internal bypass, because it's still 600 lb spring and not a bit stiffer, or both?
I also wonder how much it will settle after driving it for a while.
Currently, I can't do anything financially due to a cut in work (thanks, COVID), but am really interested in putting the 13" Icon 650# in the front for just a 1" lift and the matching Eibach 1" in the rear.
Anyway, thanks for sharing so far, it looks great!

Looking forward to installing mine...they finally showed up today.
ProLee, i'm guessing there was no issue installing on the two different perch heights on the FOX's?? The springs are clearly identical in height.

ProLee: looks good!
My fronts arrive 8/10. Need to decide on UCAs so I can order the rest. Keep flip flopping on SPCs due to reading about bushing and ball joints needing replacement with fairly low miles. Really like the look and so called low maintenance Dobinsons UCA. Decisions....
Can’t wait to get the parts and do the install.
Hope others post pics as they get their spring on!

It was straight forward....no issues. I did it without a spring compressor. Took the old springs out and put the new one in with a helper to guide the shock back in.

I haven’t thought about UCAs yet...looking at my axles it doesn’t look too bad. Alignment is set up for this Saturday, I’ll let you guys/gals know how it turns out.

My main thing with a lift and new tires is going to be making sure it still fits in the garage.. anyone have this kind of worry/problem or am I over reacting?

Interesting...no spring compressor. I have one to use since I will be doing this solo. Wifey cant break any nails don't you know...
Also I will be installing SPC UCa's on mine. With the spacer and all the weight I have on the front, (just shy of 200lb) I figure 2.2 - 2.3 inches once everything settles.
Since this is a DD, I want all the adjustment I can get.
Thank you Sir!!
