    3" lift EIBACH coils w/ 5100's front, OME/ Dakar leaf springs w/ toytec adjustable shackles at 1.5" and 5125's out back. 33x10.5x15 KM2's Relentless DIY steel bumper.
    Yeah it'll be close to 2", but probably closer to 2.25" because you do get 1/2" of lift from the 1/4" spacer. The coils are up to you. Your options are to use stock coils and adjust the bilsteins to the 1.75" setting like you mentioned above. Or, get lift coils that allow you to leave the bilsteins on the lowest or .85" setting because the lift coils provide lift on their own. Depending which coil you opt for will depend how much height you get.

    Here's an example of eibach coils, but the heights are without adding a top plate spacer. If you wanted more height you could still add a 1/4" top plate spacer but just add 1/2" to the lift heights below vvv

    Eibach coils = bilsteins on lowest setting = 1.65" lift
    = bilsteins on .85 setting. = 2.50" lift

    There are other coil options like Old Man Emu (OME) and lots of other options to lift.

    looks like a basic 3" lift and AAL on stock tires and wheels... That would be my guess

    I just bought the toytec bilstein coil over kit with rear TSB AAL and new rims with 285/70/17 toyo AT2's.

    Nothing arrived yet but I'd like to know if it's absolutely necessary to get some new UCA's.

    I've read so much about it but get a lot of mixed opinions. Anyone running this with stock UCA's?

    I think you'll be ok without. If the alignment can be aligned within spec then you'll need them. But from the research I've done, I think you'll be fine.

    What are the differences between the ome lift springs? For slight Cali lean what ome springs do y'all recommend? Do I need a spacer on top? And I guess I need to replace the factory shocks with this lift? What about UCAs? Thanks for all the help

    So the TSB is the only "mod" to the rear suspension? I have the same truck and want to go with the bilstein adjustable shocks at 2.5" in the front to level it. Yours looks mint btw.

    They wore quickly and uneavenly, sound like im in a chopper when they roll even slow speed they're loud!...they got sun damaged...The kumho's are far superior in feel/handling, material, quiet and are in a higher class than the wranglers imo.
