    i've got a 2015 acc 4cyl 4x4 base. great truck ,2nd taco. my 02 was a trd,nice truck, sold it for the 15 w/ 200000.00. i want to do a moderate lift,i was thinking, bilstein 5100's up front. set them @ .85 and 5100's in back. want to keep the ride nice, no heavy off road. use the truck as a daily, but also hunt, fish,camp. so its 2 tracks, and snow most of the time. i think this setup will level the truck out, and allow for bigger tires. my question is ,will this work, and what size tire can i run on stock 16" wheels. my big concern is problems, i don't what any. would like to here from somebody in the know,thanks.

    Sounds like a good setup. You might can cram 255/85/16s under there with it being leveled. IIRC there was a 2nd gen with that same setup with that size tire and he swears up and down it didn't rub. I would use your better judgement.
