    This is for my 2015 Tacoma V6 Double Cab 4x4. It also has a heavy Ranch Hand brush guard mounted on front. About how much lift could I expect with this set up?

    I’m assuming you’re talking about OME 885x coils. Yes you only want to put them on the 5100s at the bottom setting. The lift comes from the length of the spring, so preloading it more by going to a higher setting could cause damage to the shock. They should get you around 2.5” on the bottom setting.

    Thanks! I had bought the Bilston's but was hesitant to install them without upgrading the coils. I ordered the OME 885's after reading your reply.

    I have the OME 885s on my LBDC . I feel like ive seen 884s suggested for the short bed / shorter wheel base to avoid bro lean . For what its worth!

    2015' DCLB, 5100's set at 0 with 885's - abt 2.5". Not sure how much less if any you will get with a brush guard mounted.
