Newb needs lift advice.

Newb needs lift advice :). Currently i have a 16 SR5 prem. , bilstein 5100 front back. Front set to 1.75, 1" spacer in the back.

What I would like to accomplish is drop the 5100 back to zero and get rid of the spacer and go with some OME springs. However I am a total newb, this is my first truck with a lift. Which springs should I be looking at? I do not have any add ons (roof rack, etc...) and dont plan to get any (I think :) ) What kind of lift can I expect from the springs? Looking for possibly 2.5" or 3" .

Also If I am not mistaking, the cornfed spacers on the drivers side are a little thicker to eliminate lean? Is this an issue with the longer springs?

Any help would be appreciated!

Take a look at Wheelers Offroad and Toytech lifts both have good offerings and good customer support. There is also a thread on here about Dobinsons they also have lots of options.

Toytec has an add on for the 5100s that will make them adjustable

Read through this thread and it'll give you an idea of what wheelers t-13 rear coils +drivers side 10mm trim packer (lean correction) and either 2883+10mm trim packer both sides or 2884 ome front coils will get you when combined with 5100's. Love mine! Ended up with 2.5" front and 1.5" rear lift. You may need aftermarket uca's to get you front alignment "perfect". I went ahead and installed SPC uca's on my rig.
