The OME 889 rear spring is for a 2” lift. The 898 and 899 rear springs are both for a 2.5”-3” lift. A place called SRQ Fabrications sells the 5100 shocks with all three springs, so you should be okay with a 3” rear lift and the 5100 shocks. If you’re not adding weight, you probably want the 898 springs. The 899 is for extra weight.
(I have 5100 shocks front and rear and Toytec/Eibach springs on my 4th gen, 3” front lift but just 2” in the rear.)

Thanks for the reply.
OME 889/2889 on other sites says differently. YotaMafia, SuspensionLifts, and ShockSurplus say they're light-to-medium duty or coils with about 2.5-3" lift depending on load. OME 898 is a step up which are heavy-duty coils.
Anyways, based on these kits, it looks like I should be okay with 3" lift. I would assume over time the coils would settle to either 2.5 or 2.75. But I am afraid of overextending the rear shocks if they're not meant to be.
Just want some other opinions on what's the best action to take:
1. Raise to rear to 2.5 to 3"
2. or lower the front to 3"
