First off, thank you to everyone for the information! Been searching this site and others for months trying to decide on a lift for my 2005 V8 SR5. Of course the first site I check everyday is t4r.org!
Here is what I have come up with so far. You can see that the big picture is there. I just need help with the details!
I've already ordered Bilstein 5100's for all 4 corners. When focusing on the front, would I be better off with OME 884 or OME 885? I've read of V8 owners using 884 but it sounds like 885 is the way to go. Please confirm. My next question is should I use the top plate spacer? Am I better off going 884/885 with spacer and bilstein set to 0? Or can I use 884/885 and set the bilstein to 0.85? I'm pretty sure I read that the 885 is taller. I believe I also read to use the bottom setting on the Bilsteins when using OME coils. Again, please help me to finalize!
For the back, I have a better idea of what I want to do. I'm going to go with superflex coils on the Bilsteins. My only question with the back is do I want to get the daystar 1.5" spacer for the driver side lean? The lean is noticeable to me so if the spacer works, I'll get it.
I plastidipped my wheels and would like to upgrade from 265/65/17 Revos285/70/17 Duratracs or KM2's to complete the look.
I really appreciate everyone's input. I've searched and searched and am really just looking for someone to help finalize the plan. I'm already sleeping on the couch for wanting to do this. If there are mistakes in my decision making or something doesn't work I may be sleeping on the deck!
