    2015 AC SR5 Off Road Package
    Hey guys,

    Sorry if this is repetitive but I couldn't find anything that matched my questions exactly (number 3). I have a 2015 AC SR5 with off road package looking to do Billies set at 0.85 in the front with Toytec/Eibach front coils (1.6") totaling around 2.45 for the front and ICON 2" 3 pack progressive AAL rear lift (keeping overload leaf) with billies again. Quick couple of questions:

    1. This a good set up for 90% road 10% off road?

    2. Will a UCA be needed?

    3. Which part number for rear Billies will I need? DSM shows 0-1" for rear. I understand Billies do not add lift but I need the correct length for the 2" of lift provided from AAL.

    Coils: AAL: http://downsouthmotorsports.com/i-4...oma-6-lug-05-current-rear-add-a-leaf-kit.html

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    My only advice is to order it all from the same place to save on shipping?

    I have a friend who went through the same hassle trying to find a part number. Check ToyTec and find a complete kit for a 3" lift, for your exact truck, and use the same rear Billies as that kit shows. It could possibly be a bit longer than what you need, but you'll never bottom out hard enough to damage them, and you'll never go high enough to fully extend them either. Even in the odd case that you do end up blowing them by going too low... Get Bilstein on the phone and get some new ones out of them, I've talked to a guy that came into my shop one time, and he complained to them about it and he got new billies all the way around on his Dodge free of charge. Worth a try, or search TW some more until you find something. Goodluck!
