Ok team, need some advice. I've been piecing together my lift for a few months now and finally put it on this weekend. I was the Lone Ranger on this one so it took me pretty much all day. Here's the setup: Toytec Superflex springs with Bilstein 5100s fin the rear and eibach/toytec springs with 5100s in the front. The rims are American Outlaw Bandits 17x9 -10 offset and the tires are 285/70 Falken Rocky Mountain ATS II.
I haven't really had a chance to stand back and look at it until I just got it back from the alignment shop. As you can see, the ass is poppin! At first I though I might have received the wrong rear springs... Maybe I got the "heavy duty" rears instead of the regular super flexes.... But then I notice how low the front lift looked. The tires were also slightly rubbing on the body mount which I thought was a little strange as other guys running these tires haven't had rubbing issues (but every truck is different).
So I just went through my emails and sure enough.... in all of my glorious dumbassery..... I ordered the wrong front springs!!!! :mad2::mad2::mad2:
The toytech/eibach springs look exactly the same, are the same price, and have the same load numbers... But one is a 1.6" lift and the other is a 2.5" lift. Sooooo, what to do now??? I'm almost positive toytec won't do an exchange, I mean why should they right? I haven't called them yet because they're closed for the day but they'll be my first call in the morning. The other option is to lift the truck more using the 5100s. However, I'm hesitant to do so because Spring was a biyatch getting on the shock as it was. Plus I really want to do it right.
In hindsight, I should have just bought the preassembled toytec 3" lift... FML. So, should I bite the bullet and get the right springs (possibly with spacers to get the full 3" in the front) or should I just change the setting on the 5100s?
