    Can someone tell me the best option for leveling my future TRD DCSB OR? Also what tire and size? I mostly drive on the street, but I would like to be able to go play offroad. I know this doesn't go hand in hand but I want to be fuel efficient.

    I would imagine some Bilstein 5100's with your stock springs and some 265/70's would accomplish what you are looking for without giving up too much fuel economy. Of course you could just use a spacer, but that's certainly not the best option, nor would many people, including myself recommend it.

    So Bilsteins in the front only?

    Depends on if you are planning on adding a add a leaf in the back or not. If you leave the leaf springs alone, the stock Bilstein rear shocks that come on the TRD OR should be decent enough for a little off road fun.

    if you are just looking to level it, then yes, you would not need to do anything to the rear.

    Oh no worries man, that's why this forum is here. Unfortunately, I don't know wheels offsets all too well, so I wouldn't be the best help with that, however I'm sure others in here can chime in.. I think there was a wheels size discussion a few pages back. Might be worth looking back through some of the previous pages.

    Jerry, how do your Icons ride compared to stock? I had some radflos on my first gen and they were terrible offroad. On rough roads they felt like they didn't have any rebound. I'm not sure if i had the wrong spring rate or what.

    I love the way the icons ride. Certainly more firm than factory ride, but I feel that the factory ride is too squishy and unstable. The Icons make the truck feel planted and stable, but still give it a very comfortable ride.
