Custom spring & 5100 adjustable strut combo (1.5-3.5 lift range)

Looks like some strut plates might be in my future; down to about 37" today. Gonna have to get some sand bags to put in the back soon

I guess I'm confused, why'd you go through all that work to be at the same height? Since you're thinking of adding a strut spacer it looks like you shouldn't have cut the springs. ..

I've mentioned it a few times... but it's a step towards a 6" superlift. (I was planning on doing the SL later this year, but did the SA bumper instead)

Right now it's at the same height I was before. I just don't want it to go any lower; adding the strut spacers isn't the end of the world if needed. Being the first to try something isn't always the easiest, especially for something like this with all the variables.

Edit: Right now it's about equal to the OME HD setup + 1/4" strut spacer. If it goes down lower than we'll know that it's equal to just the height of just the OME HD, so i'd have to add the spacer back in to get where i was.

When Matt installs the Superlift he can drop the struts to the lowest lift setting and net around an inch to inch and a half more lift to the 4 inch Superlift bringing his ride hight to about 5 1/2 inch of lift up front

I get that aspect, I would have just waited till I had the superlift and done it all at once because I'm lazy lol

The REAL reason was because Christmas was my birthday, and Matt wanted to give me a modified OME lift for a bday gift

Your Rig is looking great

[Matt]

Thanks PJ!

And another reason I wanted to do it now was to spread the cost out. Timing worked out with Corey wanting new struts/springs too

Did Corey reuse your struts or buy new ones

I used his entire setup. Only changes were some fresh silver paint.
