Like the new shoes!

Running 265/75r16 Cooper Discoverer RTX. So far i like the way they ride. Little road noise but that makes no difference to me.

Sorry for the noob question, but I see a lot of lifts that consist of 884 in front and 895 in rear. I have an '05 V6 and was planning on leveling. I measured the amount I needed and it looks like about 2.5" will do so I got 884's for the front. If I only do the front, will it sit higher than the rear? I haven't seen anyone with just 884 fronts.

Thank in advance. I can't wait to start modding this rig.

You have a few options. If you want approx 2.5" front the 884 will work, then add the 895E in the rear which is only about 1" rear. If you want approx 3" front the 885 in the front and the 895 rear which is about 2" rear.

884 & 885 are the same rate, just different lengths. The 895E & 895 are the same medium load, but different lengths.

Most people do all 4 springs since they all seem to sag. Plus it's nice to fresh suspension at all 4 Corners.

Great info. Many thanks!

I'm a fan of the first ones, but I'm kinda biased.

They Look Great Blacked Out For Sure!

Is That Powder Coat Or Plasti Dip?

x2. I really wanted a set but I figured I'd get a set with more offset to eliminate needing wheel spacers.

 

[montijo505]

True! If it wasn't for that I would probably look for a set as well

Can You Please Explain?

 

[Drak]

More (negative) offset accomplishes the same thing wheel spacers do, if you have enough of it.

Exactly what [MENTION=112511]Drak[/MENTION] said. Basically I want wheels with a more negative offset to achieve a better stance instead of worrying about torquing everything down perfectly and worrying about the spacers

 

[momo.75]

My Method wheels are -12 which gives me about the same offset as when I had my stock wheels and 1.25" Spidertrax
