    Hey guy new to the world here! Digging some of the threads I'm seeing. I'd like to do a little bit of a lift to my 2016 TRD Off-Road. I'm not a serious 4x4er as I don't live near any great areas to do so. I purchased a Rough Country 2" front and a Toytec 1" rear. What will need to happen to my stock Bilsteins? If anything, what do you guys recommend that's reasonable, and not for the professionals? Thanks

    You can still run your stock Bilsteins with that setup. It's basically just a spacer for the front and a 1" block (or add-a-leaf?) for the rear. So, suspension travel isn't affected, you're just sitting your suspension pieces up a little higher using spacers.

    Ok good deal. Thought about the ad-a-leaf and decided against, as I don't haul much and appreciate the current ride quality.

    With the above suspension lifts, I'm interested in the Good Year Duratracs. I believe the max size without buying aftermarket rims is 275/70/16. Does anyone have a similar setup with this size tire? Does it fill the fender gap enough to look good, or should I bite the bullet and purchase larger rims/tires?
