    Hi TW. I have maybe two inches of clearance past my sharkfin antennae getting into my garage. I want to level the front of my 2018 Taco by 2" but wondering how much will that sharkfin raise up by? I'm thinking it won't raise up at all since it's closer to the rear of the truck? Am I wrong?

    Welcome to TW! That's going to be close enough to make you pucker up when pulling into your garage.

    I'd measure the gap when your truck has a 1/4 tank of gas (so it will be riding at it's highest) and find out for sure if it's 2" or +/- a little.

    I wouldn't do it, thats too close, and on a cold day your suspension rebounds slower. Nope nope nope. Just put on the one tire size bigger and call it a day.

    LT265/75R16 is just under an inch size difference, which raises the truck 1/2" and gives it a meatier look.

    Thanks! I can't jack up the front because the driveway slopes down into the garage. It's a shared subterranean parking where the gate swings up and you drive down into the garage..

    Why not go for the 0.8" setting on the adjustables struts, it'll leave you a little extra height for if you go up to slightly larger tires. Plus it'll leave a bit if rake so you can still use the bed without going all bro-lean.
