Updated pictures, after swapping the Toytec RC2.0HD rear coils with the standard Toytec RC2.0 coils.

Current set-up: 2005 V6 SR5 4x4, Bilstein 5100's all the way around (Set to 0"), OME 884 front coils, Toytec Superflex RC2.0 rear coils, Cooper Discoverer ATP 255/75r/17 tires

^ I'm looking at that exact same suspension setup (5100s/OME/Toytec), and I'm going back and forth on whether to spend some extra money on UCAs. Did you have any trouble with alignment?

No issues what so ever. The shop I took it to got it extremely close. I've read that you can go up to 3" before needing to replace uca's. Just to play it safe I kept the 5100's set to 0", with OME 884's, for about a 2" lift. Hope this info helps. Good luck!

What made you swap the rear coils? To stiff?

It's a great looking bumper with a lot of functionality. Do it!

I really like the 4x4 Labs bumper but i don't have the tools/skills to fab together their kit and it is a good bit more than the CBI for them to completely fab it. I have been wanting one for years

I'd suggest getting what you want. Either way a rear bumper is a lot of money...I spent over 2k on just the bumper, pluse 300 for icon springs, 200 for extended brake lines and install, 90 for extended bump stop brakets, plus a ton for the new rear shocks...it adds up!

Rough country 3 inch lift, spacers in front, shocks in rear.
265/75/16 cooper discoverer stt pro's.

Tried on the 285's and did not fit, a lot of trimming and body chopping would need to be done. With the 265's only had to chop the front plastic fender and remove the front mud flaps.
Wheels are not that noisy versus other m/t's. They are noisier than bfg a/t's though.

finally

5100's on all four corners with OME 883's up front, 895e's in the back. Rolling on hankook 255/75/17s mounted on 14' SR5 rims. Suspension lifts about 2" up front and 1.25" in the back once the rear coils settle.

It wasn't too stiff. It just sat really high in the back, like 4-5 inches. My Bilstein 5100's were maxed out. The company I bought the coils from made a mistake on the order and sent me RC2.0HD instead od RC2.0. The HD coils are designed to give 2.5 inches of lift with 400 lbs additional weight. They corrected the mistake without any hassle, and I'm really happy with the current set-up.

Very cool set-up. Looks great. I have the same exact suspension and tire size combo, but I went with cooper discoverer ATP's, 884 and toytec 2"s. i ended up about 2" and 2."
