    After a lot of internal debate, I finally pulled the trigger on a suspension upgrade. I went with the Bilstein 5100's/OME 887/Progressive AAL/and light racing UCA's all from @HeadStrong Off-Road. Also ordered some 265/75/16 BFG KO 2's.

    You'll be happy with all of it. Only thing you'll constantly question is if you should have ordered 285s. That's every man's dilemma.

    I was almost there , but I didn't want to cut and trim. Other than that, my dilemma was picking the 885 or 887 coil

    You'll be happy with the 887 unless you add a bunch of weight. It's going to handle really nice.

    I won't be adding anything. Thanks for the reassurance!

    Thank You.... I just got a 2017 Limited. I am debating if I am gonna lift it. I just don't want to go all out like I did on my 2010 access cab.

    I felt the same way. I had a 2011 sport that I went nuts with. After a ton of research and questions, I felt this was the best fit for me. Solid upgrade, mild lift, better tires.

    Originally not Expo AF! Kinda Expo AF now...lame.
    OP I think you made the right choice. My parts are shipping from Headstrong also, and I went with 887 after a TON of research.

    If I add a bumper later and it sits too low, then we can just do 888's or 886s, depending on how much weight. New front springs are only like $170 + alignment.
