hit up marie @HeadStrong Off-Road she will steer you right

885, or 887 coils, single AAL, no UCA, to get to 2-2.5. once you got past 2.5 up to 3, you likely need the UCAs +$400+/-

edit, get the 3 leaf AAL, over the single if budget allows

 

@HeadStrong Off-Road will take care of ya.

You have a few different options with that budget.

 

beat me to it!

Call Marie at Headstrong,I did,I'm happy.

 

Thank you so much guys!!! I hope you are all having a wonderful Friday so far!

 

No problem!!! Just trying to help people get the best bang for the buck!!

There ya go OP... I got the 5100s 885s and Icon Progressive AALs .. VERY nice ride and stiffens up when I need it. Man that Sport suspension was hideous and I didn't notice until lifted.

Don't forget the 1/4" spacer for Taco lean...

 

Bought my full OME kit with 886s and Dakars for under $1k delivered. C/O were not assembled though...

Very happy with it so far, been about a year

 

Damn... which OME kit did you get ??

I will be contacting Marie after they come back from their holiday vacation

This is what I was thinking for my 2017 double cab long bed
Bilstein 5100
2887 coils
added strut assembely
No uca's
HS 3 leaf AAL

Does this sound correct? Should I go with uca's? With this setup will I be around the 2" to 2.5" lift range?

Lastly, I have installed air suspension and coil overs on cars, but I have never lifted a truck before. Is this something I can do myself?

 

I'm in the same boat, thinking exactly what your thinking. 17 TRD OR DCLB front measures 1-1/2" lower than the back. I want to get it level and a small lift like 1/2" in the back 2" in front would give me level truck with 2" of lift.
With all the reading and opinions on tacoma world it's hard to make sense of it all. Would rather spent extra $$$ once. I'm not the type who likes dealing with issues. So many questions? Spacers, blocks, AAL uca's or not. What's the difference with the 885, 886,887 springs? Seems one option affects another. Don't want to spend $$$ and make a bad choice. I would also like it to be a simple bolt in kit. Assembled coil overs would be nice...... MY BRAIN HURTS!

 

Ha ha me too. I can lower cars all day, but lifting is entirely confusing to me. I know for certain I do not want a un-level truck, I want it to match front to rear as best as possible.

 

Ran 5100's on my 14' for 40k+ miles from ToyTec. They came pre assembled with a eibach lift spring. thought the ride was a bit stiff up front. anyone know how these things are??

I think that's a new product. I am interested in them. I live in the northeast and will probably do my lift in the spring. that salt and winter crap sucks here. That may be good, I'll let others try them out and see how they work.
