    I have a AAL with TSB and 5100s with 884 coils installed and the front is sagging. Believe the billies are set to .85. I would like to add about an inch to the front. If i replace the coils with 885s, will i get that extra inch since theyre bit stiffer?

    If you left the billies at .85 then yes

    or you could get 887's and set the billies at 0 and get about 3" lift up front with the same spring rate as the 884's and 885's

    So 885s + .85 would be taller than 884 and .85? And if I got 887 and billies set at 0, the ride quality should be the same?

    No

    886's are taller than 885's and have a higher spring rate

    I'm pretty sure Wheelers carries them and I think Toytec has them too

    Do you guys know the part number for the 887s?

    Look at mine. The front looks horrible with 32s

    Thats such an awesome decal on the back, very nice!

    OP: Why don't you set the front billies to 1.75? Maybe im missing something but that would give you another inch and be cheapest wouldn't it?
