2.5 gen suspension/wheel/tire upgrade

Hello fellow 2nd gen guru's...

I have a 2012 sr5 DCLB with stock suspension. I have been wanting to upgrade to 265/70r17 ko2's with method wheels for a while now and I recently just saw someone running that exact setup on the stock sr5 suspension and it looked a bit snug.

I was then thinking.... Keep in mind I want to keep the rake my truck currently has because I don't want it squatting when I'm pulling a boatt.

If I did something like a 2 in level kit in the front and did something in the back to raise it up like a inch would I then be able to run 275/70r17?

Let me know what you've heard or seen.

 

There are plenty of threads out there to help you come to your own conclusions.

This would defeat your purpose of wanting to keep the rake.
