2003 2WD V8 OME885/Bilstein 5100 adj.

I installed the OME885 on Bilstein adj. shocks set on lowest setting today on my sons 03 2wd v8. Should have gotten 2.5"-3", I ended up with over 4". Not complaining, just trying to figure out how i got so much lift on the front end. Have driven it on some rough dirt roads to settle it in, rides great. Before measurements were driver front 32 3/4", pass. front 32 7/8". Rear setting was driver 35 3/4", pass. 36 1/8". Suspension stock before install on front . Any ideas? Any ideas on leveling back with front?

With a lift, will there be any issues with the CV joints not being leveled? How much a lift would cause premature wear to the CV joints? Thanks.

Not sure, this one is 2wd so no cv axles. The problem i was having with axle bounce was the rear shocks were too short and would top-out, the 4wd shop has ordered me longer shocks.
