TOTAL NOOB TO SUSPENSION! HELP!

I have a 2017 TRD OR DCSB and am looking at doing a small lift here soon. My requirements and details are as follows:

• I want only approximately 2" of lift, even a little less is okay. I also want to fix my taco lean.
• I will likely be putting 265/75/R16s on because this is a daily driver that sees 40 highway miles per day for my work commute.
• I will be adding a Leer 100XR and a DIY Drawer system and plan on adding full aluminum RCI skids and also their sliders. All in all I am thinking these items will amount to around a 500# constant load.
• My off-roading is minimal. I drive mostly forest service roads and moderate trails to access climbing and skiing areas in addition to some trails for pure pleasure!

At this point I am thinking I will be doing with the 885 coils, 90021 shocks and the standard dakar leaf pack, not adding or removing a leaf.

• Do you think I am making the right decision?
• Will I need UCAs? If so, what do y'all recommend?
• Do you guys recommend I do the front diff drop or ECGS or both?
• Are extended brake lines necessary?
• What else do I need or do you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Excellent goal statement, reasonable questions!

Your path of least resistance is to call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and let her set you up.

I think they are moving, their site may show them off line for a bit. Don't fret, it's worth the wait.

 

I'm okay waiting and tried calling today. I will call her Monday, May 1st to see what I need to do!

 

bump. looking for others thoughts and opinions

 

Did a small lift on my '08 this spring. Add-a-leaf in back got me about 2 inches in the back. Went with Bilsteins in front adjusted to max lift (1.75 I think). Rides great.
