    New member here, but have read threads on here for quite some time. I have learned a good bit so far.

    I am wanting to lift my 2019 TRD Sport SBDC 2WD. I only do mild off-roading, which is why I got the 2wd model vs. the 4wd model. Looking back, I probably would've gotten the 4wd just for convenience but thats beside the point. I have been reading up on here and have become very fond of the Bilstein 5100 lift/level with OME coils.

    Some questions I have....
    1. When looking on @HeadStrong Off-Road website, I see they only have things for 4wd Tacomas. It seems as if the suspension on both 2wd and 4wd is similar and interchangeable but I wanted clarification on that.
    2. When it comes to the coils, I was initially looking at the 888s but read that they sag a bit over time. That made me look more at the 886s, since they hold a bit more weight.
    3. I've read a little on that "tacoma lean" but am not confident I've understood it. What is it? What should I add when installing the Bilstein lift to correct the lean?
    4. Tires. What tires fit without having to trim stuff up?

    Again, I've read up a bit but these are some questions I couldn't find 100% answers on. I know I could do a spacer lift but I absolutely do not want to do that. I had that on my previous truck (before replacing it with all new UCA, LCA, Struts, Shocks, etc.) and it was terrible.

    I appreciate the help in advance! Thanks to all.

    EDIT
    - looking for about 2-3 inches of lift. I drive a good ways every day so wanting something comfortable as well.

    2wd and 4wd are the same in suspension suspension components.
    Only thing a 2wd can do a 4wd cant is lift it 4 inches with a spindle lift.
