    The 3 leaf AAL is approx. 1.5" without the overload, yes. With the overload you gain the additional height of the overload spring thickness, which is approx. 1/2" - for a total of 2" lift - which I can confirm from my experience with that setup.

    Lift heights per each brand of coil, listed smallest to largest for each.

    This looks awesome! Definitely thinking about adding this exact same setup. Do you know if there is install instructions anywhere? I'd rather do it myself and save a few bucks.

    Both TW and YouTube have tons of walkthroughs for the front and rear end.

    Now do those coils go on 5100s or stock shocks to create the full 2.5 to 3?

    Eibachs and 885s would go on 5100s set at 0" setting.....Eibachs would yield a 1.6" lift (from what I've read)...and the 885s appear to be 2.5" on 4wd models....

    ......question is will it fit in my garage?... Haha

    Daaamn thats a good looking setup! Are those 285's? I really want a black softopper for the bed. Thats honestly probably going to be the next thing I buy.
    Thanks man! I'm loving the ride with the 885s. I've heard the eibachs are a little stiffer thats why I went with 885.
