    So, after months of going back and forth I think I have finally come to a conclusion... well almost.

    I’ve decided a few things. I only want to level the truck in the front (get ride of the rake, so about 1-1.5 inches I would assume) so that I gain the addition clearance in the front that I have come to notice is definitely needed on the trials I go on, and so I don’t have to buy new tires again. I have decided I am going to the Billie 5100’s all the way around, but am having trouble deciding whether or not 884 or 885 OME coils with the bullies set at 0 will give the level I am looking for.

    Any input is appreciated!

    885 up front will give you MORE than 1.5” lift. So much lift in fact that you’ll likely have some reverse rake especially if you ever put anything in the bed. 885 will give you about 2.5” front life if you have a double cab v6.

    A few updated pics of my 885 with strut top spacers and Dakar pack I’m back. Such a killer setup for not much money at all.

    Wait, you’re a 3rd gen. I don’t know if it’s the same lift specs for 3rd gen.

    I finally got my kit installed yesterday! 885 w/ Deaver 2" AAL in the rear for the time being. May eventually upgrade to Dakars in the rear but only time will tell.
    So far super pleased with it!

    Looks amazing! I also just recently put this exact setup in but with a icon Progressive AAL and really enjoy it. Both the aesthetics and performance of this setup.

    Looks good. You should chop your exhaust.

    So if I do the 5100s with my stock off-road wheels.. should I change tire size to 265/75 16... oppose to keeping the same 265/70 16 size?

    I used to put a 4 wheeler back there, dropped a bit but still level with the front. I bet you will be ok if you don’t mind a saggy rear of you ever haul something heavy.
