    Currently, the truck sits level. I would like to add a little more lift without having to worry about new UCA, alignment issues or any vibrations. Im thinking 2"-2.5" if its possible. This is my daily driver that does not go off road and carts around a couple of little ones. So needless to say, I don't have time trying to track down vibrations or messing around with alignment issues. My initial thoughts were OME 884 or 885 (with billies @ 0) and an AAL (1.5" or 2"). I guess my question is...what combination will give me a little more lift and still sit level. Remember this is a non TSB. I also assume I would need the "taco lean" spacer. Correct me if Im wrong, but I think its a .25" spacer??? Believe me when I say that I did plenty of searching, however with all the hijacking of threads, I feel slightly more confused. Thank you in advance for your input.

    The .25 spacer is correct for the taco lean.

    You can go with Eibach springs and get 1.6 inches of lift. If you want 2.5 inches, go with an OME spring that gives you the lift so you can put your Billies at 0. You will probably have some type of alignment or vibration issue at 2.5 inches of lift. Just part of the game. The suspension is made for stock, not lifted. You can probably get away w/ 1.6 inches and maybe 2.5 but more than not have issues at 2.5.
    Good luck and let us know what you decide.

    A dcsb and no 4x4 with ome 885 up front will put you over 2.5" front end. 885 's were designed to carry the extra weight of a transfer case or heavy bumper. 884's up front and a 2" aal in the rear may work out better for you. You won't be nose high by using the 2"" aal.

    Thanks for the input so far. Does anyone with 884 and 2" aal non-tsb have any personal experience?
