    I have a 2018 Sport 4x4. Looking to do Bilstein 5100 in the front with factory coils and AAL in the back, Is 2" of lift reasonable with this approach, or should I look into something like an OME 2888 or similar coil to get more lift?

    Recommend having new coils installed by the vendor. Unless you have access to a professional spring compressor assembly of the coils on the shock is a sketchy operation.

    True. I'm wondering more about lift amount on factory coil + 5100s.

    It depends on which ring its set on.

    I guess a better question is this, what is the maximum lift on the second to last notch setting (since highest notch is not recommended with factory coils)?

    What aftermarket coils get you to be able to use the last notch setting?

    I would skip using the stock coils and get:

    Eibach

    E30-82-069-02-20 (16-22 Tacoma)

    You will get 2-2.25" of lift on the bottom setting, and no sag like OME coils. Plus your ride will be better than preloading your stock coils to achieve the same height.
