So my buddy (a GM tech)and I installed a lift/level kit today.
Consisted of:
- kore high angle cvs
- Michigan metal works UCAs
- kore 3.5" adjustable bilsteins @ 3.5"
- icon vehicle dynamics 2.0 rear struts
- icon vehicle dynamics 1.5" rear coils
Dimensions before were; rear fender @ 39", front fender @ 36"
Dimensions after were; rear fender @ 40.5"' front fender @ 41.5"
Was hoping to have the front close to 39.5".
Everything went smoothly minus the usual 'stuck' items that required some additional 'help'.
I don't know why I got 5" of lift from these adjustable struts. We put them in the highest setting, which was only supposed to be 3.5".
Only thing I can think of would be that put the Bilstein spring seat on upside down, but it seemed to only fit the one way.
OR
We reused the stock spring seat, on top of the Bilstein one. Bilstein spring seat seemed to just be a part to connect the Bilstein retainer ring to the stock seat.
Any ides? Don't know what to try with that.
Thanks in advance.
Install is similar to how regular Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks are, just with a higher setting, so looking for guys that have installed those to respond as well...please!!!
