Bought RE 2.5 Standard Coil Lift kit and have questions
#11
Edited: Decided to keep the kit i opened the box today, and worst case scenario, i can have the rear track bracket welded for cheap instead of tossing $100 and change for the Teraflex version, doesn't really look as bad as i thought.

Here is some info on the springs i wanted to gather since i haven't seeing this posted online, measured them morning
RE 2.5 standard springs
Front:
CAM03133 by SilverFJ RSM, on Flickr
about 18 3/8 free length CAM03081 by SilverFJ RSM, on Flickr
The rear ones are a little short, but will work with the 5100 rear anyways, 5100's rear open up at 25" max, and the free length on the RE spring rear is about 15 7/16"

Removed the RE rear bumpstop as it was limiting my uptravel, i don't have 35's, and the RE bumpstop is 2.5" tall, which is too much for 33's. I bought the Metalcloak rear bumpstops and installed one block on each side (1"),no issues with the shocks hitting the bumpstop as the shocks can compress up to 15.3", i should be able to run no bumstop, but to protect the shock i decided to at least use 1" of it.
later on i'll go with longer springs, more likely metalcloack 2.5 springs and ARB shocks, but i'll wait to at least need new shocks before i do this, plus i need to save for an aftermarket front DS
