    I'm getting a 3" Bilstein Suspension lift and i just have a few questions about it. Should i get the front OME 881 or 883 coils? What does the front differential drop kit do? For the rear lift should i get the 2" Toytec Add-a-leafs, 2" lift rear shackles, or 1.5" Block Kit with U-bolts?

    Suspension, 33s, some armor... Rust, Gray wire and 2Low, and more. T4r is stock.
    For the rear, I personally think AAL is your best option out of the 3 you gave. A lift block it the worst option. As for the front a dif drop lowers the differential to reduce CV angles. I'd have to look up the specs on 881 and 883s, it depends on vehicle weight and intended ride hight.

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    Are you 4wd? If not you wont need front differential drop kit. I am 4wd but bought a differential drop kit and ended up not even install them. 883 if you plan to add weight to the front of your truck. If not you will be stiff as hell driving. I would go AAL and if you have a bit more money, I would choose at least a 3 leaf progressive leaf setup.
