Comfortable lift for a primarily street driven truck that needs a little more clearance?

I have an '18 Sport 2WD and I want to do no more than a 3/2 lift and level. I'm not doing heavy off roading but I have a few occasions getting to kayak or mountain bike spots where having a little bit of approach or departure clearance would be greatly appreciated. I've had to dig out the rear bumper going through a drainage ditch to get to a spot. I'm also looking to clear some expected rubbing from an upcoming rim change. I'm already rubbing a bit with my 265/70 tires.

Primarily I want to maintain a comfortable street and highway ride but I also want to reduce a bit of squat when towing and overall just give me more clearance all around.

From what I'm reading, the 5100 lifts and spacer lifts would give me the extra clearance but not really any travel advantages with the short drop out which I'm not sure if I really do or don't need with the scenarios given above. So I guess what is the next step up from those without getting into a fully OR suspension and giving up daily driver ride quality?

Thanks

 

Would the Eibach Stage 1 be a good option here?

 

I say just level the truck. I got my OR from Toyota with a leveling kit. Probably all you need. People think it is lifted. Drives well.

 

I personally would never lift a 2wd truck, but small spacers (top hat or preload) or 5100s might work for you. Alternatively you could upgrade to tall skinny 33s. They might work well in the Florida mud.

Also rear departure angle can be improved with a aftermarket bumper with a hidden hitch receiver.

Also, since it is 2wd, you could do a spindle lift.

 

I am planning on doing 6112/5160s on 3/2 settings in the front

 

I’m the same boat with my 2012 prerunner. Might just go with spacers. Spindle lifts are a cool option, but it’s a lot of lift for a mostly street driven truck. Rancho makes a 2-2.75” front lift with and adjustable, prebuilt shock/spring for ~$350-450, and has decent reviews. Then your AAL of choice for the rear. That’s another option I’ve considered.

I also went up a tire size to 265/75/17’s and gained a good bit of clearance with no rubbing. I needed to replace my rear bumper, went with an all-pro and that gave me tons of departure angle. The most off-roading my truck gets is the occasional slightly rutted road on the way to a fishing spot and never has issues.

 

That is what I’m doing. With my research, I was looking for similar, comfortable with load hauling capabilities. Decided in the OME EL111r “Medium” rear springs for 2” lift, and the Eibach Stage 1 with 590# springs and 2.5” lift without preloading the spring.

I plan on being a “pavement princess” “mall crawler” with dirt roads and dump runs in the bed. Haven’t gotten the Eibach kit in yet, but the OME springs have been smooth and trouble free, just needing a carrier bearing drop.
