5100s with shims?

Have 5100’s installed on front - highest setting

just getting ready to install 1.5” shackles on rear. I am thinking this might make the rear a little too tall

it looks like I can add 1/4” - 1/2” shim to the front if I need to raise up to make closer to level. Any problem doing this? I know it will need to be realigned
Anyone running similar set up with 1.5 “ shackles? Wondering how it looks?

 

Itll look like any 3/1.5 lift kit out there.

Coachbuilders got the shims your looking for.

 

Here is @MAGDADDY running shim on his 6112

 

You might need new UCA to get it aligned with shims on top of the highest setting. (As shown in the pic above)

 

Yea the shims will help if you need a little adjustment I’ve got 2 on drivers side 1 on pass, sit a touch nose high but it’s really close.

 

Yep, 5100's on top setting and one Coachbuilder shim on each side

 

FBG 5100 adjustable coilovers set at 2.5" front, 1.5" shackles rear. I stayed at 2.5 to avoid possible UCA's and more CV ange. Still some rake but not to bad.

 

Buddy just installed 6112 top setting with 1.5 shackle out back, 285/75/18. @cmack

Looks great that way IMO!

 

Thanks. Guess I’ll install shackles and then decide if I need anything else in front.

I already have aftermarket UCa’s that I installed with 5100’s so should be good with alignment

thanks for the pics. I like the look. Looks like I might be ok without shims

 

I ran without shims first just to see, but I also didn’t have much of a lean prior to installing the 6112’s. I also wanted a rake to keep TSS and PCS happy on mine... the pics in @14burrito ’s post are of my truck so if you want any additional pics just let me know
