I dont see how a shop that specializes in lifts would miss that but if its a true setup i would of thought you would gained much more lift and it will totally change my plans
I agree 100% if this is proper 5 I'm glad as hell they didn't listen to me. Here's another pic, hard to tell

Yes in those two pictures it looks like it was installed correct.

I agree, it looks too thick to just be the circlip.

And you have ORP springs? I would expected more of a lift. I’m non ORP and on 5 too and I’d say our stance is VERY close

Yes it's odd, maybe moving to the 33" tires did something weird haha. No idea, but from the one pic you can see the orp spring number. It's got about 0.5"-0.75" rake .
Thanks for your help guys. This is my first level/lift.

I agree, that is odd but those are the correct part numbers for the ORP springs. It seems like theres big differences in actual gains from member to member

I agree, I'm very glad they went 5, if I'd only gained a half inch I would have been a little upset

After getting such conflicting reports I might just go the 6112 route with the rear 1.5 icon springs

Especially if you are part of springgate! You've been super helpful. You and Northern get a patvon the back from me. All said and done you think my clips look right? I'm thinking so.

Im thinking they look good for the other pictures. No problem, all stuck trying to figure out the same thing. Ive spent countless hours trying to figure out the best way to go and im still trying to figure it out haha

I know it's brutal, definitely seeing so many different results is confusing. I'm happy with mine so hopefully it will help others.

I’ll take measurements tomorrow cuz I’m parked on a decline. Installed ORP springs, bilstien front and rear (setting 4), Fuel Techs, and duratracs (285/60/20). Wanted a little rake, so I’m pleased so far.
