    Looking to raise my truck. I was wondering the best way to go about this without voiding the warranty. I also want to keep my 17in wheels. If yall can give advice on the best combo tire size and lift/leveling that would be great. I only go off pavement a handful of times a month.

    Thanks again

    I'm replying as a novice and only telling what I did to my 2015 TRD/OR/SB. I use my truck as an everyday driver, as a K9 Trainer and SAR volunteer I go off road on occasion. I had a 2.5" front and 2" rear level done, installed Nitto All Terra Grappler's LT265/75R16 to my stock wheels (which added about .75 inches to the clearance). The rear shocks had to be replaced due to the lift w/Bilstein ? shocks for the increased extension. Trimmed factory mudflaps by 5" for clearance. I have been very happy with what I gained. With the level and tires I invested around $1100. My current clearance is about 10" which allows me to avoid most obstacle's on some pretty rugged dirt roads. Obviously the body level did not increase clearance but did get things a little bit more out of the way. Even pulled out a Ford and Jeep. Hope this helps. As far as I know I have not voided any warranty other than the parts that were added.
