    I apologize in advance if this question was answered in this thread somewhere. I have the Bilstein rha 5100s on my 16 TRD OR set at .85 and currently using the stock coils. I'm looking to switch to the OME 887 springs and set the Bilsteins to 0 and wheeler's 1.5' progressive AAL, do you think I would have any issues with that kind of set up?

    Went with a 2" OME lift. Used 886 springs, heavy valving, TC UCAs, and Dakars in the back. Tires are Cooper ST Maxx 255/85r16.

    The kit came with a carrier bearing drop kit. Any pros or cons to installing?

    A small handful of select mods.
    The success of the carrier bearing drops kits vary somewhat wildly. Assuming you don't have it installed now do you have a vibration issue? If you don't I would leave it alone. If you do then the kit is something that might correct the vibe.

    Truck looks bad ass in that shot. Well done!

    Bilstein 5100 shocks - front and rear. Used the factory front springs and set the front shocks at .85 (second notch up from bottom). I personally feel that the rear could use an additional 1" or 1.5". Considering doing this with the wheeler's progressive add a leafs.

    Overall, I'm satisfied. The new shocks feel a little more damp and less "bouncy" vs. the factory bilsteins.

    I attached a few pics to show how she currently sits:

    Looks great! Did you use any other parts to achieve the lift? Or was it just the bilstein 5100s for front and rears?

    I noticed that you wanted to "add a leaf." Is it necessary?

    Looks awesome! I just ordered the same bumper. Keep us posted how the 886 springs hold up over the next couple of weeks.

    Absolutely love them so far!

    I will... So far so good... Everyone on here is saying stock spring rate is 712 but the 886 is much stiffer to me. Feels great on the trails.
    Like @Lord Humongous said it's the slimline bumper from SSO and it's amazing!!!!

    Question... Has anyone taken dimensions of rear fully collapsed and extended? If someone would be so kind and share this info, it would be greatly appreciated.

    I am new to lifting trucks, but ive always loved the look. I have a ""2wd"" TRD offroad and I just want to know what options are out there for a lift.

    Im also being torn between 16" and 17" rims. Ive been told 16" are not being done as much but I love the beefy tire look and that the 17" are the new things to get.

    I love trophy trucks especially BJ Baldwins and I know I live in South Florida and don't have a purpose for a 4wd, but I still love that look.

    This is my truck now!
