So I've been on a long journey to replace my spacer lift. Started with wanting a zone 4" kit, decided against it, then decided to drop the money on an icon kit, then decided I wouldn't use it to it's potential and be a waste of money, then went to the Bilstein 6112 kit and was told by a Bilstein rep that they haven't tested them on the 3.6l v6 yet and wouldn't recommend them.
So now I'm back to everyone's favorites, the 5100s. My current spacers are 3" front and 2" rear. I'd like to not lose any height than what I have now.
So if I went to the 5100s set at 2.8 with a 1" rear spacer (talked with some 4x4 shops near by and ruled out the Bilstein or icon coils) and stepped up to a 35x12.5r17 from my 285/70r17s then I should come out with more lift right?
I'm thinking the 5100s may settle down to 2.5" and then the sidewall of the tire should give me at least another .75" over what my tires are now, which should put me at about 3.25" over stock. Am I correct in this thinking?
Also if anyone has 5100s and running 35s feel free to post some pictures for me!
