Lift kit install questions

Hi everyone, I'm getting ready to put on a Bilstein 5100 OME 880 with Icon rear springs. My questions are these:
Are UCA;s necessary with 2.75 " of lift?
Do I need the spacer for driver's side sag?
Is a diff drop kit necessary?
Appreciate the answers Tacoma family!

 

I believe its over 3 inches when you need to do those things, keeping it under 3 should be fine.


But someone who knows better should probably chime in.

 

Spacer yes, UCA's are recommended but not all need them. Diff drop is a nope. What are OME 880's?

 

Thanks!
OME 888's I meant!

 

All of these questions have been answered hundreds of times.

Yes if you want to maintain reasonable alignment.

I don't know, do you?

Necessary to accomplish what? If you want to lower the front differential about 0.5" then it is necessary.

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gotcha

 

I did 2.50 and did none of that.

 

NO
NO
NO

 

I suggest adjusting the preload so it gives about 2” of lift and skipping the aftermarket UCAs. 2.75” is pushing the limits of your 3” of down travel.

 

AFAIK, You can’t go over 3” without extended length shocks and aftermarket UCAs. The stock shocks and UCA only have so much range of motion.
