SO i was looking into the upgraded rear helper spring kit from Timbren and i noticed something maybe weird not sure but want insight. So based off all the videos ive seen the rear bump stop should be 1.5 inches apart to the plate. mine is totally no where near that, 2 inch rear shackles, Bilstein 5100 and 35s.

 

Rear extend length shackles raise the rear of the vehicle which would increase the gap between the bump stop and axle top plate. That distance is variable depending how the vehicle is parked (uneven vs level surface etc...)

 

yeah that's what I was figuring but wanted another set of eyes haha. SO would you say replacing them with the timbrel kit would be pointless?

 

What's your measurement center wheel to fender? My rear springs are still factory oe, I have 2-3/4" (@ bumps stops) & 23-3/4" wheel center to fender. No spare/jack/rear seats & currently empty of my tools.

 

23.5 and the 2 inch rear shackles the 5100 series i know lift the height a little or as they say but never confirmed.

 

Shocks don't lift. What's your measurement @ the bump stops?

 

gotcah its 5 inches exact from bottom of the bump stop to the plate.

 

looks like you need bump stop extenders and maybe some spacers on that lower plate to get into the 1" gap you are looking for.

 

That don't add up. What's the measurement from the frame to bottom of the bump stop?

 

no joke thats what it is what you see on the base plate to the bottom of the bump stop is 5 inches.
