Here is my current setup:

Stock 2005 V8 SR5 4x4

The proposed lift setup:
Front: 3"
Rear: 2"
No plans for front or rear bumper

Parts:
Driver Front: Bilstein 5100 (setting .85), OME 884, .75" spacer
Pass Front: Bilstein 5100 (setting .85), OME 884, .75" spacer

Driver Rear: Bilstein 5100, Toytec Super Flex Coil, Daystar 1.5" spacer(fix lean)
Pass Rear: Bilstein 5100, Toytec Super Flex Coil

LT285/70/17 Load D Goodyear Duratracs
17x9 Ultra Gauntlet wheels , Flat black.
Spidertrax 1.25" wheels spacers
Demello Rock Crushers
Trimming to fit the tires

Did some searching on here.
Is this the correct parts for the lift to acheive the full 3/2? I do not want to go beyond the 3/2.

Thanks,

Kenn

Why not just set the Bilsteins to the 2nd setting instead of the spacer? I think it's 1.5"

Sounds good otherwise although if you're gonna be really picky about exact height, there's a decent chance you're gonna be switching it up.

You may hit it dead on but I know myself, and a few other members who are picky about the height, have changed setups several times.

Kenn, if i'm reading this right you are wanting to do OME 884, bilsteins turned up to .85 AND a .75 spacer? That will be WAAAYYYYY more than 3" up front

He has a point, I was thinking a .75" lift spacer, but a .75" thick spacer will provide around 1.5" lift alone.

The 884's alone should net around 3 inches. I'm running the 885's personally and am very happy with them.

I was under the impression that 884s were only 2" lift and, because they're soft, when combined with the v8 could lift less?
 
I'm another one who's switched up several times to get things right. I would guess the 884s and the Toytec spacers would get you the 3". I think the Toytec spacers are what the op is talking about, their site lists it as 3/4" but will give 1". I'm not 100% on this, but I think 884s give approx 2" lift. It is not advised to use the bilstein adjustment with any type of lift coils.

Alternatively, the ome 885s are the same coil rate, only taller to provide more lift. I got right at 3" with just the ome 885s on my v8 4wd.

Or 885's with the top plate spacer (what I had) since he has a v8. I think OME is very conservative on their lift sizes.
 
Looks like the same setup I am leaning towards. Based on all the searching and researching it appears a good setup for stock bumpers and an excellent improvement over stock for handling. I'd love to see your results when it's finished.
 
Similar to what I plan to do but only with a 8854 up front. Is the lean really that bad to where you have to have a 1.5" spacer? I'm hoping to not have any bro rake or I'll have to put spacers in the rear for both sides.
 
Based on several of recommendations, I am going with the 885. Thanks for the advice/input on the 885. Going to try the 885s without a spacer and see if I can get 3".

Going to also try 285 duratracs with the Gauntlets without a wheel spacer and see how that goes. Discount Tire is mounting the wheels and tires, so going to try without the wheel spacers. Of course I will trim and push the plastic fenders.

Good choices my friend! You'll enjoy the lift etc. Heres mine with that lift, 285's and a one inch body lift.

yeah, i was thinking that the spacers with the new wheels might be a little much, but don't know the exact offset backspacing and whatnot of those wheels.
Sounds great overall, good luck.
 
Installing lift tomorrow. Do I need to put loctite after the install or after the alignment on the upside down Lca bolts?

Thanks!

Same question? Am planing to install Blistein set at 2.5 front (stock coils for now) and 1.5" lift spacers rear....Will I still have any lean?
 
Well, the lift didn't go according to plan. Right now it is on jack stands waiting for me tomorrow. How safe are the cv boots when doing the upside down bottle jack trick on the wheel well? I figure I have to press down a lot because of the 885's. I can jack up the lca with the floor jack only so far before I start lifting the driver side, which I don't want to do.
