    Yes I'm gonna go with OME gonna call that girl in a bit, need to write everything down first including questions.
    Blue grass does that kit include some spacer I've read about, something about truck lean on drivers side? Do I need it?

    - Bilstein 5100's set at 1.75 - 265/70/r17 Goodyear Wrangler Authorities - 6000k headlight and fog light bulbs - NiLight off road LED rear lights - Light bar mounted behind front bumper - White LEDs in dome, map, and sun visor - Tint (5% around / 35% front) - Universal 13 inch metal antenna - Beer bottle opener in bed - Organizer storage box in center console and glove compartment - Mounted MagLite to top of center console storage box - MGM grille - MGM rear bumper - CamLocker toolbox - Rubber floor mats - 2 USB and Cig lighter chargers in rear of center console - Headrest mounted iPad holders for rear seats
    You'll want a 1/4 inch spacer just for the drivers side to compensate for the taco lean. Bilstein lifts site will sell you 1 for like $25.

    Mine did....it includes a 1/4" spacer for the drivers side as part of the package deal. You'll need it. (They're something like $8 individually)

    I'm replacing everything on my truck.....81,000 miles and my old shocks are starting to get a little worn down. My new "kit" will hit my front door on Monday! Just ordered my kit this past Monday!

    I have a 2015 and ended up with no lean. I started out with just the toytec 2.5" coils and 1/2" spacer. I have since installed 5100s/Eibachs and ditched the spacers, still no lean. I'm sitting at 22 inches hub to fender on both sides.

    As my boss always says, "I'll defer to someone else on this one". I'm still using the stock TRD OR 16" wheels and happy with them. Others with more experience in wheel options may have more info.

    They're 275/70/17s I had them put on before the lift and had minimal rubbing. After the lift zero rubbing. Make sure you get wheels with a proper backspace or at least spacers and you should be fine with 32s.

    It's 2.5" lift coils on bilsteins at the 2nd clip setting. It should be just over 3" but with the weight of the bumper and winch I'm closer to 2.5". I'm not sure what the stock fender to hub measures.

    The billies should net you close to 3" in the front. But the ride will be stiff at that height and you will be nose high if u dont add some height in the rear.

    Bilies and 885 OME w/ 1/2" spacers = 3"
    Bilies and 887 OME w/o spacers = 3" (just stiffer than the 885's...)
