    Bilstein 5100's w/ OME 885's (Front), Bilstein 5100's w/ TSB 4-Leaf & 2" AAL (Rear), XD Monsters with 33x12.5 Toyo Open Country M/T, G2 BAK Bed Cover
    After much research and thanks to those that replied and shared their experiences on this thread, I will be going with OME 885 coils in the front with a top plate spacer on my Bilstein 5100's set at zero. In the rear, I will be going with the 2" Add-a-Leaf in combination with the Bilstein 5100's and 4-leaf TSB. This setup will get me my 3" lift to "hopefully" fit my 285/65/18's under with no or little trimming. I'll let you know how it turns out.
