    I currently have 5100 shocks at 2.5" on stock springs and 1.5"' AAL with TSB springs in the rear.

    I'm looking to replace the stock springs that will give me 3" or a little more if possible. What springs should I be at looking at?

    Is that half inch really going to make a difference?

    OME 887s are a 3" coil.

    Yes, the coils will not be preloaded.

    Since I'll be replacing the UCA's, might as well install new springs.

    Bilstein 5100's all around, OME 885's and OME Dakar CS047R Leaf Packs. Snugtop Rebel, pet screens,front slider drop down window. WeatherTech mats. Interior LEDS
    If you want to go to 3 inches the OME 887 as mentioned above will do nicely.
    if you are already planning on the UCS the 887 will be great. You will like the ride way better that stock. The rear on the other hand..
    To give you support and a nice ride OME Dakar leaf packs are awesome. Rides like a dream on and off road.
    I run 5100's 885's and OME Dakar leaf packs

    Yes, I dont think it's recommended to use aftermarket coils with the 5100s on any setting other than 0.
