    Have a 2018 TRD Sport. Going to replace shocks with 5100's all around. Factory coils seem shot. To get 2.5" up front, what springs (brand and rate) should I get? Or should I just add a 1/2" spacer?

    Currently have 2" spacer up front and 1" block in rear. Running 275/55/20 Ridge Grapplers on 20x10 -25 offset wheels. I'd like 1/2" more clearance as the tires are so close through the radius that they touch depending on angle and turn.

    OME 887 set at 0 on the.5100?

    Don't expect increasing lift via your shocks to fix your tire rubbing though. It'll likely rub less often, but it's still going to rub when pulling into driveways and such (or offroad).
    Adding a bit more caster angle on your wheel alignment is what can fix the rubbing (it moves the wheel forward slightly as you add caster angle). Also -25 is quite a lot of wheel offset, and is likely contributing to the rubbing as well.

    Yeah, its alot of offset. I knew it would be tight. Getting front end sag now from worn components, so gonna freshen it up with 5100's all around and the OME 887's up front. I had planned to see how they could square up caster as the left front is further back in the well than right front. That is most likely gonna be my resolution.

    Its not rubbing now, just close, but yeah any angular difference could cause it to touch. Not terribly worried about it as its a truck I bought for my daughter and it won't go off road.
