    Your list is pretty close to what I ordered from Headstrong Off-road, but I paid a little less.

    https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/store/p401/Coil/Bilstein_5100_Kit_(HS16BK-1).html

    The link above references a kit that provides the 5100 front/rear shocks, your choice of OME coils, a 1/4” top plate to correct the driver side lean, your choice of a UCA (I opted not to since keeping my lift to <2”), and either a single Deaver AAL or 3-pack AAL for the rear. HS will also pre-assemble the front shocks with coils if you want, so all you have to do is remove the OEM fronts and install the replacements without messing around with coil compressors (basically a DIY-er).

    Depends on how much of a lift you’re going for. Seeing as you selected OME 888 coils, I suspect yes.

    I went with ADS level 3. Depending on what youre going to use it for, the OME should be fine for you. You can always move up as you get more trail hours.

    Just city/highway driving not in offroading yet. I don't want to get ucas yet to fit on my budget. What coil can I get without replacing ucas?

    That setup looks fine. No need for UCA with the 887. Should be around 2" lift after it settles.

    I just put on a full 3” OME lift with 888s in the front, and no need for UCAs. Though it seems all these 3rd gens react differently to the same OME parts. In my case, none were needed.

    Nice thanks I will also consider that, that's my main plan ome 888 but i don't want to replace the ucas yet so thats why i decided to just get 887 atleast to avoid replacing ucas. Good to hear that you can put ome 888 without replacing ucas thanks!

    885. I was shooting for 1 to 1.5” of lift in the front end. Added the 1/4” spacer for the driver side “taco lean”.
