Lift for DCLB

I've got a 2012 DCLB I've read just about every thread I can find on here for lifts I'm still debating on the setup that I want but I know what I'm going for:

2.5-3" overall
Bilstein 5100s all around
Level stance with maybe a slight rake
Eventually planning to run 285s
Decent road manners

My question is whats the best setup for what I'm going for?
885 set at 0" for around 2.5"
887 set at 0" for around 3"
Toytec 112620 for around 1.6"
Toytec 521600 Coil Set at 0" for around 2.5" or 3" with top plate spacer

How much lift for the rear?
1.5" or 2" AAL

 

2013 DCLB

I have 5100's set at zero with the Eibach/Toytec 521600 and it only gave me 1.25 lift. Kind of pissed cuz I only have sliders which don't really add that much weight. In the back I have AAL that came when I bought the truck used so I'm not sure how much lift I have in back and I haven't measured. I think I'm going to switch to OME setup in front.

 

Did you add the top plate spacers? I'm kind of torn between the 885 and the 887 coils for just this reason. Plus I'd rather have the black coils (silver taco)

I'm planning on getting the Bilstein kit from @HeadStrong Off-Road its just the best bang for your buck!

Just trying to decide on which coils? Any other members with a DCLB have any input? Thanks!

 

Get OME all around with 887 and order in next 5 days and you get $125 rebate card.

 

885's gave me 2.25" s of lift on my short bed. 887's would get you a bit higher but be a little stiffer. I still have some rake with a 1.5" AAL, maybe 3/4 of an inch.

 

I went full OME kit with 887's& dakars and new UCA'S all from Headstrong.email Marie there at HS and she will answer your questions and get you lined out right.can't wait to get my stuff and put it on

 

885's and 887's are the same spring rate

 

My bad. Thanks Oz

 

Right now the rake on my truck is about 2.5" with 885 or 887 I figure I'll have about an inch or less of rake once the suspension settles.
Does that sound about right?

 

If it's to much I think thecommon fix I've read isome to pull a leaf out of the dakar pack if you go full packs.my factory suspension has almost 80k on it and it is time for new all around

 

i got the 5100's and 885's and got 2.5 inches spot on.

 

What did you go with in the rear?

 

I went with the add a leaf in the rear, but I also added ride right air bags. I have a lot of gear in my truck at all times for work as well as a full canopy, the stock suspension wasn't cutting it

 

Yeah I'm not carrying a bunch of gear. What size AAL did you go with? I can't decide between 1.5" or 2"

 

I went with the 1.5 in the rear, wish I had gone with the 2
