Bilstein 5100s/OME 884 - Deaver 2" AAL

Hey all, decided to post my first thread here because I couldn't find *exactly* what I was searching for. Was looking for direct photos of Bilstein 5100s with OME 884 springs and an add-a-leaf on stock OR wheels/tires. I could only really find photos with setups with 3-leaf AALs and aftermarket wheels or TRD pro style wheels.

Figured I'd throw in a couple photos for those searching like I was. For a setup reference: this is of my 2020 TRD OR 4x4 with stock wheels and tires with about 9k miles. Bilstein 5100s with OME 884 Springs and a 1/4" taco lean spacer - Deaver 2" single add-a-leaf. As an FYI I have an OEM hard tri-fold and about 100 pounds or so of gear in the bed so let's say about 175 ish pounds in total in/around the bed.

If this thread is in the wrong section, my bad.

I bought the 5100s from a member here on the forum and he had grabbed them from HeadStrong. It's the usual 5100 with OME 884 coils (supposedly 1"-1.25" of lift?). Threw them on and it looked PERFECT in the front, seemed like more than 1"-1.25", but I never took any measurements like an idiot so I couldn't tell ya a number.

I had some bro-lean going on and obviously didn't want that, so I opted for the 2" single AAL from Deaver. Got them in a few days and the install was very smooth and very simple. I attached a photo of the clamps I used (they worked perfectly).

(Rough) measurements today after the add-a-leaf are:

Driver-Front - 22.5" Passenger-Front - 22.5"
Driver-Rear - 23.0" Passenger-Rear - 23.5"

That's about it. Thanks @rblalliance for the suspension, and thanks to the forum in general for all the references I used for research/install help.

Below: Just the 5100s. Unfortunately the only photo I have with just the 5100s. Excuse the mud.

Looks good! I've been trying to figure out what I want to do and this just might be it!

 

If a good price presents itself I'd say go for it.

Forgot to mention the 5100s ride much better than stock OR bilsteins. Ride quality is great. The single AAL made the rear a little bit stiffer but I'd prefer that rather that it feeling too soft or floaty.

 

Looks great!!

 

Looks good. time for 285s?

 

Oof the wallet ain't ready for a wheel and tire setup lmao

 

16x8 with a nice 265/75/16 looks good as well Just saying

 

Yeah that was actually what I'd probably go with whenever these goodyears start to die
