    Hey guys, first time post, long time stalker.

    I have an 09 DCLB Sport with a 2 inch AAL in the back and 5100s all around, front set at .85. Anyways, I'd like to go ahead and lift the front 1.75 or 2 inches and do it right with coils instead of cranking up the billes. truck has 103k on it so stock coil replacement would be good. I've read a ton of threads on this and it's been discussed at great length, but I still have a couple questions. No plans for a bumper

    Eibach - 620lb and 1.75ish lift. Stiffer than OME

    OME 2884 (884x) - 2 inch lift, softer ride, will probably need new UCAs

    What would you guys recommend?

    Also, what about extended brake lines on the front?

    Are LR UCAs the most economical and reliable choice?

    My truck is definitely not a mall crawler but it is a daily driver. Spend a considerable amount of time off pavement on trails and pastures, nothing serious but I need it to be capable and retain full stock travel.

    Should I expect any differential whine at 2 inches or less of lift?

    I fully expect to run this truck until it dies so I definitely don't want anything that might affect the reliability of the vehicle. Thanks for the input

    Well I can tell you I had Eibach on my access cab. It was stiff, but got a better deal on them. Not sure if they were stiffer than OME.. never had that set up. I didnt need new lines and didn't get new UCAs, but I would have gotten LR UCAs for lower maint.

    Thanks for the input! Does anyone have pictures of a DCLB with the Eibach setup with billies set at 0?

    So would I but that's a tough pill to swallow right now! I guess what I'm really looking for is the most reliable lift I can get with my stock UCAs. If I can go 884s for 2 inch lift on stock UCA's that would be great. Otherwise I'd either go Eibach or 883s.
