    Do you think you could run 265/70R18 with this set up?

    Pardon my ignorance, but when you level the front and have a heavy load on the bed doesn't the front then ride high? I would like to level it but I often do trips to home depot on the weekend and haul some weight and don't want the truck looking funny.

    That was just a photoshop I did for shits and giggles.
    Personally, I like to maintain factory rake when I lift.
    Air bags might be option as a work around.

    On the Bilstein 51's, does anyone have them on a 2WD 2016?Looking to raise front to be level with rear. I can't seem to find anything definite that they will work. Looking at suppliers, fitment only goes to '15's. I was originally thinking about spacers, but not getting good vibes from others experiences.

    Bilstein 5100's upfront set at 3rd notch using the stock TRD Offroad coil. I have Bilstein 5160's in the rear sitting 285/70/17 Toyo AT2's and Method NV Wheels. Camburg Ball Joint UCA's, Custom DKE designs grill, Cobra CB Radio
    Here you go, 2wd 2016. Bilstein 5100 at the 3rd perch using the stock TRD Offroad springs. 5160's in the rears. No spacers, I had a 3/4" spacer up front and immediately took it out as it rode like shit, very stiff. I've given this truck a beating with the 5100's and no real complaints. posted_ocotillo.jpg
