I want around 2, maybe 2.25" of lift on the front end of my 4 banger access cab. 884+billys?

I just ordered an All Pro Expo Leaf Pack ($449+free shipping yes please) for the rear of my taco. I have sliders and hi-liner camper shell at my lightest, and all that plus another couple hundred pounds of camping gear and a platform/mattress at my heaviest. More armor and a rear bumper are in my plans.

It's a sad affair as is on the stock suspension when I go out camping and wheeling, my truck sits like the 5 lugger with bigger tires and I'm dragging my belly on everything.

However for the front I don't want to go too crazy. I want to keep it simple and reliable. Don't want to mess with UCAs or have to worry about CV angles when I'm miles from cell service for days on end so I'm thinking right around 2" over stock should do the trick.

What are people getting with 884s and Bilstein 5100s set at 0 on their 4 banger access cab trucks?

 

i got about 2.25 - 2.375 of lift with that setup.
but i also have TC UCA's. anything over 2" requires them or you're 'going to have a bad time'.

 

I got about 1.5" with 883s, if that helps at all. From what i've read on here, seems like 884s will give you what you're looking for, but you may find that you end up wanting to go with aftermarket UCAs with those. Another option could be the Eibach 620lb spring- they call it 1.6", but that's for heavier trucks, seems like 4bangers end up with more. And, I'd read up on the all-pro springs on here. I think there's a reason they're on sale, some folks not happy with the quality lately:
