    I have a Gen3 Trd Sport Access Cab and I ordered Bilstein 5100 shocks. Since it's an Access Cab Bilstein states that the 2" notch is not recommended

    Which notch should I use to level the truck and looks best? 0.65" or 1.1" or 1.55"

    Which tire size should I order since it's an Access Cab? The stock tire size is 265/65R17. I was thinking with a level it should be either 265/70R17 or 275/70R17.

    I'm assuming 285/70R17 is too big...

    The wheels I ordered have a 0mm offset

    Please post pictures of your Gen3 Access Cab if you have any examples

    I could opine on what I think looks best, or...

    You could take a jack to the front point between the LCAs and raise the truck 0.5, 1, and 1.5". Take pictures of each and see what looks best to you.
