    Alright, reason for why my truck looks the way it does. Got in an accident in January, dude ran the red light. Insurance stated they can only get me into a body shop until July. So just took the money and did some things in the front. (Fred Loya Suckssssssss)

    The question of the matter is this. I am discombobulated on what setup to do. There is sooo much out there. So, I work in construction and with a Suicide Prevention Line, I haul and tow often plus I enjoy taking my motorcycle to tracks (410lbs) as well as off road near the Durango area. I just want to do 275s, no desire to do 285s (Have 265/70r17)

    Currently have Bilstein 5160s in the rear (Open for changing those) with the Leitner Designs Rack, Front is stock, I've done a pinch weld and have Fend X liners. I have a 2017 Taco with 155k miles. It is due time for some leaf springs.

    My general idea is a 2inch lift in the front with either the Bilstein 6112s or the Falcon Sport Tow/Haul lift system. I would like to get new leaf springs and keep some rake as well. So maybe doing the Icon Multi RXT Leaf pack at 1.85inch. Not sure how that looks at all. I've scoured the internet all over and talked to numerous 4x4 shops, not a lot of help. Seems as though not a lot of people are doing 275s while also having a rake in the rear.

    I really like the Hybrid front bumpers, perhaps the C4 Rock runner, might look a little silly but thats what I like.

    The idea is to keep this truck light with the planned aftermarket bumpers. So what UCAs, suspension (front and rear), bump stops, leaf springs y'all recommend. I am based in Denver.
    Open to hear your guys thoughts and ideas, appreciate you all. Haven't been on here in forever.

    Here’s my truck when it was on 275’s, Icon RXT on “medium” setting. I’m sure you’ve seen this setup elsewhere, plenty of people run 275’s with a rake like this, probably just not realized that’s what it was though?

    edit: forgot to add photo

    Yah, you are probably right. I just don't see it a lot in Denver.
