I had been running bilstein 5100's in all 4 corners with FJ springs for a couple of years with the front set to 1.75". This past weekend finally swapped out the FJ springs with 885's with 1/2" spacers front and Superflex rear. Also put in LR UCA's. Mike, (Jester4kicks), who's such an awesome and kind dude, came by and guided me through the entire installation process. It pretty much took the two of us the entire Saturday. Can't thank you enough, Mike! Look forward to you getting your front bumper when I can help and return the huge favor! 
Got it aligned a couple of days ago. I'm liking the ride! Here are some Before and After measurements and pictures.
Before - from ground to center of wheel well fender line
DF - 36
PF - 36 1/4
DR - 36 1/2
PR - 37
After - from ground to center of wheel well fender line
DF - 38 5/8
PF - 39
DR - 38 5/8
PR - 39
From center of wheel hub to wheel well fender line
DF - 23 1/2
PF - 23 3/4
DR - 23 1/2
PR - 23 5/8
Before - bilstein 5100's set to 1.75" with FJ 4x4 springs
After
Here are the alignment numbers. Casters are high enough so the truck tracks pretty well at high speed and is not skittish. I was a little concerned about the camber and toe numbers, but it drives straight.
