    I've got billstein5100 on front and rear with OME885 coils on the front and Wheelers progressive AAL in the rear with the factory spring left in place. The front Billies are set to 0.

    What are my options for adding another 2 inches of lift in the front and rear?

    I second that. I wouldn't add anything to that AAL. I had a Dakar leaf pack on the rear of my last Tacoma and 5100's. I was told when raising the rear above 2" (Dakar is 2.75") to then get the extended travel 5100's for the back and extended brake lines....

    That setup should be 2.5" front and 1.5" rear, right? So you want 4.5" front and 3.5" rear lift? There's nothing on the market for that without replacing the front crossmember and knuckles AFAIK.

    A few things
    I'm assuming your stock leafs have sagged? A aftermarket leaf pack is your best bet.

    is adding more leafs to my AAL an option? Or to keep it simple, could I add a 1 or 1.5 inch block to the back and spacers on my front coils? Dont really care about the ill-effects for offroading...dont do a whole lot. I'm doing this for aesthetics.
