Can I squeeze and inch or 2 out of my stock 2015 TRD Pro Bilsteins?

    Want to put a 32-33 " tire on my truck what's the easiest way to get a lift without messing to much with the stock stuff? I was looking over the Bilsteins and was wondering if they could be adjusted.. thanks for any input

    As mentioned, lift won’t make larger tires fit. Simply turning and suspension articulating will still cause rubbing issues.

    Trimming and modifications are required:
    -Cab Mount Chop
    -Trim the inner, lower edges of the fender flares
    -Flatten the pinch weld
    -Trim, mold or remove/replace the wheel well liners

    I and a lot us have done these. I was able to squeeze in 295/75R16 KO2’s on the stock Baja Bilstein suspension. Only rub at full lock.

    32-33 will likely fit depending on tire width, wheel backspacing, and alignment numbers.

    Check out tinkerers adventure on YouTube for all your Toyota IFS questions to be answered.

    A lift doesn't make larger tires fit throughout the suspension articulation, just maybe at right height.

    Check out the pizza cutter threads. 255s are a great option for both 32s and 33s

    i could be wrong, but the 6112 that came with the trd pro are not adjustable. only the aftermarket bilstein 6112 are.

    what you can do, is install spacers on top of your shocks.

    but like others said, that wont grantee you fitting 33" tires. I had a 3" lift with my aftermarket 6112 and still rubbed 32" tires (265-70-17) with a JBA UCA. Didnt rub with a stock UCA but i had limited down travel due to the stock UCA balljoint maxing out.
