Feedback on suspension options

I have 2011 limited, and want a bit more clearance (cause it looks like a station wagon) and drags on everything. I think it rides a bit lower than and SR5 as well. Ideally I would like to get about 2"-2.5" all the way around.

I've decided to go with Bilstien but there are some options.
1. TRD Pro (FJ) setup. They are blowing these out and it will fit, but it looks like the front strut only has 3 slots, instead of 7 and I don't know how much lift I will get. I can add a 1/2" spacer on the top if needed, and coils or spacer to the rear.
2. Buy the same components (non-OEM) for the same lift. It's more expensive but all the slots are there so I can get a full 2" from just the strut. Again I need coils or spacer for the rear.
Next questions.
  • If I go with a 2" lift spring in the back, why do I need a bump stop extension. So what if the wheel gets stuffed up in the wheel well?
  • Do/should I get the diff drop kit?
  • Should I do the sway bar relocation?
  • Feed back on the rear. Should I go with a spacer or get the springs. I want to maintain the stock ride if possible. I've seen good things about the progressive springs from Metaltech 4x4. OME seems hit and miss.

You will need to spend some time and search around here as there are many options around.

If you're keeping stock shocks, keep in mind the limited has X-REAS (a different shock setup than the rest) and I'm not sure if it'll handle a 2.5" spacer

No need for diff drop or sway bar relocation at that lift figure. Bump stop extension not needed on stock shocks. Bump stop extension depends on the shock body (to avoid bottoming out the shock) and is typically used for long shocks.

Good info on the diff drop and bump stop.

The XREAS is coming out. Nice for the trip to the mall but not much use off road.

It will be replaced with Bilistien shocks.
