I know this is from last September but what size lift did this give you and which OME springs did you use?

Finished up the Icon stage 2 and threw a cali raised 40’’ up on the prinsu. Also did some Overland custom front and rear links and boy they are BEEFY. She came along way in the last few months.

It's been a long time coming due to covid and the holidays but I finally got my wheels in. Had debated between the FN five stars and SCS F5, came down to me thinking the SCS F5's had too big of a cult following behind them. Regardless both are great looking wheels. Hopefully I can find some time this weekend to replace both front inner and outer tie rods up front and new lower control arms upfront and slap these guys on. I'm no [MENTION=63060]rickashay[/MENTION] with the lens but got a Ricoh GRIII for work for food photos so I'm a work in progress.

I was on the Bilstein 5100/OME 3" lift from yotamafia. 885 (medium) spring in the front, and 896 (heavy) in the rear.

suspension lift wise it was right around 3" when using the #1 perch setting (not the lowest, but second one up) on the front shocks. The body lift obviously gave me an additional 1" fender gap to the tire.

Thanks, that helps out a lot. I’m currently running 5100 on front at 1st setting on 265/70/17 wildpeak but wanting to go higher. I’m putting 5100 on rear but can’t decide whether to keep stock coils and put spacers or lift or just go ahead and get new coils to raise it another 2”.

I do not plan on doing much off roading and it is my daily driver so ride comfort is the most important.
 
No Pic

Sorry no pic, but everyone has diif experiences. 2005 4R Sport. Bilstein 5100 lift, with 0-2.5" up front. Went 2.5 with the 1.8" rear springs. lifted, but factory looking forward rake. Sold the rear springs, put in Moog, stock (maybe 1/2 over) and she sits level unloaded.
 
Getting ready to make some big changes to my build in the next 3 weeks. Pulling him into the garage tomorrow to start the tear down.

Current build:
JBA UCA
35x12.5x18 Patagonia MT
RC 6"
Bilstein 6112 at lowest setting which is 1.38"
Fat Pat's BL 2"
Total lift a little bit above 9"
DT Long Tubes
DT Y Pipe
3" exhaust the rest of the way back
C4 Low Pro
NWTI DIY rear bumper. Changed their design up to accommodate for the body lift
Relocated body mounts
Crazy ton of other "mods" too many to list.

Removing everything and starting over and I'm greatly looking forward to the future.

Should I keep the factory front coils on my '05 V8 Limited w/XREAS when I put in the 5100s and adjust it up? Or is it worthwhile to get something like OME 883s? I've heard the Limited coils are different to provide a more cushy ride and idk how they'll respond to the Bilstein set at like 1.5" or so.
