    I’ve been tirelessly researching this now. I have 143k on my ‘13 TRD sport access cab V6. I noticed my right rear shock is smoked. It’s time. I want to beef the suspension up but I’d prefer to not lift more than 2”. I get up into the woods and cut loads of firewood and hunt. Haul landscape materials a few times a year. No rock crawling or anything too gnarly, but I’d like more capability without sacrificing reliability. I’m strongly considering the 5100/OME kit from headstrong. I’m thinking the 884 springs and the 3 leaf progressive AAL in the rear. I’d like to either keep factory rake or slight rake forward/level. In no way do I want to approach bro lean. I’ve also PM’d headstrong for some advice, but wanted to hear from some members here with similar setup and access cab. Thanks everyone

    I went with 5100 in the front with OEM coils set at the 3rd circ clip (1.75”) No issues with my stock UCA and solid Alignment numbers.
    5100 in the rear with an Icon AAL and absolutely love it. zero issues and the rear leafs holding the topper and also allowing me to tow 300 gal of heating oil at roughly 8lbs per gal. Never squats or shows any signs of being taxed. i personally like the stance of the setup as well. this exact setup has lasted me over 100K.
