Why is my truck SO HIGH

[xplorre]

Greetings,

Wore out my OME suspension and just finished installing 5100s (with the stock springs of course) and icon ucas.

I have the 5100 set at the 2.5 in Mark, now installed. The truck sits a solid 2 in higher than the measurements I took before starting this job.

Help

Perfectly normal for North Carolina...seriously, double check your settings...might've set too high to wrong mark?

2.4" OME lift swapped to 2.5" setting on 5100s. Though I suppose the ome springs could have settled over the years? After a rough drive around the neighborhood, they seem to have settled in.

Anybody have axle to fender measurements handy for their 2.5" lift? Im at 23.75L and 24R

Getting flashbacks to the tailgate guy LOL.

First thing I thought of when I saw the title of this thread.

seriously though I hope it’s easily fixable without you having to take everything off to adjust.

I just ran our and measured mine. Mine is leveled 3/4" with Eibach struts and that was right on. 22 3/8 front and 23 1/2 rear. I would have to pull it out of the garage to measure passenger side and I haven't had my coffee yet. FWIW, I swore mine was al least 2" higher when I looked at it but the tape measure told me I was wrong.

How old are you ??? I ask cause the older you get, the shorter you get !!!
I used to be tall but at 77 years old, I shrunk !!! (in height only...everything else has not shrunk)
Maybe if your old the shrinkage just caught up with you and everything now looks taller !!!!!

Hahaha, I'm on the cusp at 41. In my defense, I measured before and after, expecting a .1" lift and it was legitimately almost 2" taller

I panicked before taking it out for a drive and parking it level. Getting an alignment right now, hopefully it's within spec since it looks great

When I was waiting at the dealership the other day, I went out and looked at a used Chevy Colorado Bison. Hoy crap that thing sat high!

So you are going to leave it that way?

35" tires on the Bison.

They decided that the bed needed to be even higher, since you weren't going to be using it anyway with the 35" spare back there.

76 y.o. Life is like a roll of toilet paper, the older you get the fast it goes.
Semper Fi.

It's kind of tough to gauge because your driveway is on an incline, but your truck looks level. Is that not what you were going for? Could be that your OME shocks were sagging on you. How does it ride?
