    Rear leafs shot, debating ome complete lift or 5100's all around from dsm and general springs hd leaf pack. Don't need much lift. Running 265/75r16 coopers. Local installer quoted me 1500 for ome complete lift installed. I don't want to have to mess around w uca replacements. Any opinions appreciated. I have cruzed the posts regarding suspension and there are a lot of opinions. I don't do a lot of offloading other that the ocean beaches and dedicated trail roads in vt. Thanks.

    .
    OME is probably your best bet, stay low enough in the front so you can still get the front wheels to align, I have seen trucks still align at three inches but it's not a sure thing, two is more of a safe bet, I would make sure the installer is confident of this.

    Just worried that the 885 coils that come with it might be too high. Installer is versed in jeeps not Toyota. I am a little Leary about the ome setup being too high and looking stupid as I don't want to purchase new tires to fit the lift if u know what I mean.

    I very much enjoy my 884's on 5100's. and someday, when I want to buy uca's I can upgrade to 885's for another 160$

    my rear leafs were revived somewhat with the wheelers 3leaf aal kit. if your springs aren't broken, I think its a good route to take
