    Access cab with child seat in the back, yellow wire mod, diff breather relocated to tail light, engine block heater, Leer topper with Yakima tracks and rack, Yakima rack on cab, Ride Rite air bags with Daystar cradles, CBI hidden front hitch, wired for winch front and rear Warn quick connect, Warn x8000i on external carrier, sway bar delete, trailer plug relocated to under bumper, Pelfreybilt IFS and Mid skids, BAMF Tcase skid, ECGS front diff bushing, ARB CKMA12 compressor, 255/85/16 Backcountry MT 3 load E tires on stock steel rims, Toyo M55 tires (same size) on another set of stock steelies, Up2NoGood heated mirror kit, Husky X-act Contour front floor liners, Northstar AGM 24F battery under the hood, Northstar 27F in the cab, Redarc 25 amp DC to DC charger, Pelfreybilt bolt on sliders with kickout and top plates, TRD Pro headlights, Depo smoked tail lights, Energy suspension body mount bushing kit, OME Dakar leaf packs with AAL, OME rear shocks, OME 90021 front shocks with 885 coils, SPC LR UCAs, Up2NoGood 2wd low range mod, 4 Wheel Campers Grandby slide in camper, 4xinnovations high clearance rear bumper, Uniclutch 800 lb/ft clutch
    Those coils will be fine if you don't add a winch and don't expect the same lift as without the bumper. If needed, up to 1/2" spacers are fine to use to regain lift lost due to the weight of the bumper.

    Also... the 885 or 884 won't necessarily give you 3". On DC's, 885 nets around 2.5" and 884's (I had them on my DCLB and they were terrific) give you a good 2". The nice part about a 2" lift is you don't need aftermarket UCA's and there's less were and tear on your CV's. With a 2.5", it's about 50/50 if you will need them. If you have a DC and want full 3" go for 887 coils. Same spring rate as the 884 and 885 but longer.

    Thanks for this bit of info! I may just do the same style kit but with the bilsteins then, they are a little cheaper and from what I have read here a stiffer ride

    I used old style nitrochargers (not the sport) because they were softer. Those nice big soft shocks paired with the heavier OME springs front and back made it ride absolutely awesome. It was comfortable to drive without load, or with a 1200 lb load.

    I now have Billy 5100's on my Sequoia and don't like them as much. Both are good though, and I can't imagine you'd regret either one.
