    I know most others have gone through this .

    Right now I have the bilsteins set at 1.75 front , and 1" blocks in the rear .

    I realy want alittle more ground clearance , don't do any serious wheeling . I more or less just get the truck dirty If anything .


    Here are my concerns , would it looks to goofy on stock Trd sport wheels and tires ?

    Also , how much worse does the ride quality get ?


    what else do I need ? Diff drop? Control arms ? Is that stuff optional or needed .

    I know many have one from 1.75 to 2.5 , please share your opinions and experiences .

    If you switch to 2.5" in the front you will most likely need adjustable UCAs. If you're lucky, then not. It's seems hit and miss. I had 2.5" and 1.5" on my last truck and the stock wheels and tires looked too small in my opinion. I also needed UCAs, but never bought any. I just delt with the caster issues. Ride definitely gets stiffer if you use stock springs.
