    Sorry if this has been asked before! But I am want to keep my stock tires and just upgrade the suspension to fox, kings or icon. I am looking to add an inch lift (anything more seems silly on the stock tires, right?)

    Essentially, I am looking to do the TRD pro suspension set up but with an overall better suspension. I am also looking for a set up that will give me the flexibility to do a 3 inch lift in the future.

    Will the kings 2.5 coilover work for what I am trying to do? Any advice would be appreciated.

    Seems like you are doing this more for looks than performance.

    Yes, you are fine adding King, Fox, Icon etc...with your stock tires.

    If you are leveling it out, you will be fine, looks wise.

    If you plan to jump to a 3" lift later on, make sure the shocks you get will allow for that (0-3" extended travel). With that coilover, it will have very few threads showing to get you a 1" lift. If you just do the front, that will level out the truck nicely (very common). Rear is a different story. You can't run a long shock setup for a 3" lift at factory height. Shock body is too long and you will not have any up travel.
