    Got a 2021 SR 2.7 2wd. I do lots and lots of forest roads. Nothing intense. I know my limits and I don’t cross them. Mostly wanting to do this for looks admittedly and to run some skinny (but taller) tires. I’m cheap and most of what I’ve gotten thus far I’ve scoured Facebook marketplace for to build my own lift kit so to speak. I’ve got 5100s for front and rear. A headstrong 3 leaf AAL, bumpstops and OME 885s. Now my concern is the front end. The little 2.7 and lack of transfer case might mean those 885’s put me wayyyy higher than intended haha. I’m not trying to go above 3 inches, or even 3 itself but I can live with it. I know at that height it’s often recommended to get UCA’s which I can do but would like to avoid if possible. Anyone with ANY experience in this sort of thing with the little base of the base model and an OME/bilstein combo? I know it’s a long shot, thanks in advance.

    I had that exact combo on my Sport with a 6 cyl. You won't go over 3" Might not go over 2" so you won't need UCAs either

    Slickkkk. Even without the weight of two more cylinders and the transfer? I’m trying to do it right but not lots of intel with the base model rigs. I originally ordered a westcott preload spacer lift and then said nahhhh I’m gonna do this right but too much reading has further confused me haha

    You should be fine. The chart below says 2"

    Dude. Absolute hero haha. Thank you. I’ve looked for something like that (clearly unsuccessfully) for days even though it was probably right under my nose and I didn’t wanna be bothersome with my 2wd lift questions as it doesn’t seem too popular on here

    For what it's worth ... on my old 2013, I got the OME Nitros with 885 (vs 886) and no spacers to avoid the 3" front lift. The resulting positive camber annoyed me the entire 12 years of ownership, even with alignment and slight correction after spring settled thru the years. The one regret I always had was not going 886 and new UCAs, especially having gotten the Dakar leaf pack.
