    Good afternoon all.

    After spending nearly the last two years with my 2001 Double cab making sure that it is 100% mechanically sound, it's time to start thinking about some 4x4 modifications.

    Currently the truck is stock save for changing out the old bagged shocks for 5100's in each corner. The scope creep plan is to be running a high clearance front and rear bumper and some rock sliders. All of those are going to be steel and made by a local company that I've known and worked with for ~7 years.

    This all being said I've been humming and hawing at spring/leaf options. Other than the bumpers/sliders I don't plan on adding much more weight to this truck and would also like it to sit right at that sweet spot of ~2in of lift so I don't have to shell out for some adjustable UCA's.

    From my research I'd be looking at OME 2881's in the front with the 5100's set at 0, and local shop making a rear leaf pack that would provide 1.75in of lift in the rear (Stock leaf pack curved and with an additional leaf).

    My question would be, is there anything I'm missing or does this seem like a solid setup for what I'm looking for? I feel like I've put so much time into researching this and I still can't figure out if this will produce the desired result.

    Thank you for any input anyone has!
