Newbee from Jersey!

Hey everyone! I just joined your forum. I have, bought new, a 2015 TRD Sport. I decided to hang on to her as long as I can rather than purchase new during these crazy times. Anyway, it has been very "stock" for 8 years. I recently decided to give her a small makeover to keep me excited about having an 8 year old truck. I just put on a trifold hard tonnaue cover, and step side runner boards. I am now looking to get some new tires(not wheels-will keep factory) and I believe I will level out the front as well. So, I joined the forum to get some feedback regarding leveling and new tires as well as anticipated maintenance/repair help. I don't want a lot of lift, just enough to give it a"stance". And, I'm thinking about BF Goodrich All Terrain 265/70/R17 C. Any input would be much appreciated.

Welcome aboard.

For your tire question, the BFGs you mentioned will work fine - no issues with fitment. You can find lots of opinions on here about how good or bad they are, and the same for any other tire type out there.

As far as your levelling, your best bang-for-your-buck would probably be to upgrade to a pair of Bilstein 5100 shocks. They are an improvement on the OEM stock (also made by Bilstein) and have a number of height adjustments (base level is the same as stock height, moving up one notch should remove the rake and balance the stance. There's other options, of course, but you're incurring a lot more cost and replacing a lot more parts.
