    Budget?
    What type of offroad do you plan on doing?
    Mall crawling?

    Have you looked into Bilstein 6112 and 5160's?

    So not going full retard then huh? LOL (that would be what I do)

    What you listed is a solid choice, and definitely what @BlakeM recommended.

    Still check into the 6112/5160's. I had that set on my Tundra. Worked well for the light offroad and towing.

    Nice thank you! Some of the shops I talked to. They said they keep stock springs put the 5100 and stock rear!! Would you recommend changing my UCA’s or keep it stock?

    If you go to high your stock UCA’s won’t hold alignment so keep it loved the 2.5 inches on the front and you’ll be fine

    In all reality you sunk a good amount of money into a new truck. Nows not the time to skimp and cut corners so do it right the first time.

    Work in progress...
    I have the 5100/887's with the Wheeler 3 leaf add a leaf on the rear with 5100's also. Trail running the set up works really good in my opinion. On road it is a little better than the stock trd sport setup. Most of the time I just look at it anyways so...it is awesome

    I'm waiting for the 6112/5160 to come back in stock. I literally check headstrong 50 times a day. Depending on how tight your budget is the 6112/5160 is only a couple hundred more.
