    You can always add 1/2 inch spacer on drivers side and 1/4 inch spacer to passenger for just a little more if needed and to offset lean, won't affect ride.

    You mention add ons. Sliders, winch tray, skids etc can take away your lift quickly. Read the thread linked in my signature for some details. I'm adding a spacer to my 888's when I put my winch/tray on.

    Thanks @jsinnard ...this answered a question I was about to ask about what notch to use on the 5100s.

    So another question about total lift. Sorry if this is stupid...but...

    I understand the Off Roads already come with a 1" lift over whatever is "standard". If you go with the OME 886 or 887 coild which provide 2" of lift, does that net you an additional 2" from where you started or by removing the stock coils, do you lose 1" and the OME coils add back 2" for a net of only 1" of lift?

    From my understanding you net a 2" lift (before springs settle in). You should read @jsinnard post here

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/dclb-with-885-springs-5100s-at-0-and-3-leaf-aal.502144/

    He explains it perfectly if a 2" coil and AAL lift is what you want and from what I've read, probably the best option for the everyday driver that likes to tear down logging roads to camp sites every now and them. The only thing to decide is spring rate based on your needs.
