    Alright folks.....I'm sure it sounds like a noob question. I'm selecting the suspension I want and was originally going with 886 springs. That was before I saw @HeadStrong Off-Road has their 2" lift springs. With 5100's and these, what setting on the struts will give me 2.5" of lift? 2009 2.7L access cab

    The zero setting. Our coils will provide around 2" of lift on average (with averages some people gain more some gain less) on a 05-15 4dr 4wd V6 that is stock weight. Since you have a lighter truck you will see around 1/2" more lift from the coils then what they spec out.

    Marie would you recommend stiffer 886's with no aftermarket bumper or 885's

    Nope. Especially with the lighter truck. The 886's are slated to provide around 2.5" of lift on an 05-15 4dr 4wd V6 that is running around 200lbs of additional up front weight.

    I just installed the HS 2" coils on my 2015 dcsb 4x4 and got about 2 1/4". Paired with a 1.5" in the rear. 5100's on all corners. Rides great, looks even better. I now look for potholes just for kicks :). Thanks @Headstrong !

    What I'm shooting for, what coils are they exactly and what size tires you got?

    Looks good man! I think I may get the 2.5" outta them being a 4cyl then. Did you include the 1/4" lean spacer on the driver side?

    They are the Headstrong Off Road in house brand. Listed as a 2" lift coil. I also did the 1/4 spacer on drivers side.
    These are 265/70/17 Duratracs on TSS wheels.

    They look killer man, I have 17's right now but think I'll drop to 16's on the next tire buy.

    Looks great, any needle bearing vibrations with this setup? I am highly considering this setup for my Tacoma, was looking at 6112's but its mostly driven on the road so that would be overkill for me.

    Level can be hard since the springs (coil springs and/or leaf springs in the back) can produce more or less lift on the various trims of Tacomas since some weigh more or less then others.
