4.5" RE springs & short arms.
Rear coil relo. With what I've read the rear relo adds 1.5 - 2" and is a small improvement in bump stop alignment and coil arch. They appear to be a bolt on unit and the OEM perches are still in place. I'll post a picture if the rain slows down for a dash to the shop.
ACOS up front, adding 2", 1.25" height at minimum adjustment + the 3/4" actual adjustment
I assume ACOS were added to compensate for the added rear height with the rear relo brackets.
By my math, I'm looking at 6.5" net lift.
Add 1.25" BL. It's just too much, eh? Also, height to top of sliders is 31", quite a leap for me and a real challenge for my 5'-nothin' wife.
All I want is to run and clear 35s (already on it)
I think the Bilstein 5100 are for a 4" lift so likely too short for this application.
Options as I see it:
1) leave all this in place and replace coils with 3" Rock Jock Springs, losing 1.5" and getting me 'down' to approximately 5", still probably more than needed.
2) remove ACOS and relo and live with coil arch and possible bumpstop misalignment but lose maybe 2".
Will this lower spring require a pinion adjustment and/or alignment? Future goal is full Rock Jock kit with double adj. track bars but figure I can get away with the RE CA until then. Wanting to do the suspension before the re-gear/axles.
I'm wide open to suggestions, school me please.
Thanks.
