    Went with the medium and it’s perfect for this kit but eventually I will add that extra leaf to make it HD when I get my RTT.

    I upgraded to the Eibach coils on 5100's and i got about a 2" lift as well. Thinking of going up to 285/75/16's. Are you still not rubbing? Do you do any off roading?

    No rub but I went ahead and CMC'd for safe measure, I figured I needed to since I added spidertrax

    Are you running stock wheels? i have some method NV's with 0 offset and SPC UCA's. I think, more like hoping, they will fit without having to do a CMC or add spacers. I guess I'll have to throw them on there to find out huh? Here's a pic of my 265's.

    yea you won't need spacers, I was barely touching the upper control arm on stockies, I am sure your wheels have a more aggressive offset. Looks awesome brother!

    No complaints here.
    I got exactly 3” of lift up front with bilstein 5100, ome 887 with spc uca and 3 leaf aal through headstrong for $12xx.
    If you’re willing to spend all 1600, I’d opt for a full leaf pack and maybe some reservoir bilstein 5160 shocks

    Here's a breakdown of my setup:
    5100's all around- $340
    Eibach Pro-Lift Coils- $150
    SPC UCA's- $460
    Toytec Mini Leaf Pack W/Extended U-bolts- $230
    Front Diff Drop Kit- $30
    Total- $1210+ tax= $1300ish

    Glad I went this route. Was expecting to spend another $300 but the guys at Toytec recommended the mini leaf pack for my style of driving (weekend warrior).
