    I size up tire
    Are The front Bilstien shocks used on the TRD offroad package do they have a the adjustable c ring to raise the truck? I'm going from the stock Goodyear 265/70/16 tire to Falken wildpeak 265/75/16 that's 1 inch overall diameter increase. I also had a Lear shell put on my truck and now it sits almost level. I would like to raise it 2 inches front. 1.5 rear.

    Stock front TRD OR shocks aren’t adjustable.

    Get Bilstein 5100s all around. Keep your stock front springs (set spring perch for desired lift) and add a leaf for your rear height gain. You will not regret it one bit, and it’s relatively innexpensive. Stock TRD OR Bilstien shocks are terrible with a canopy. I suffered for over a year but didn’t realize I was suffering. I was convinced Toyota knew best. I was hitting the bump stops all the time, not to mention uncertain handling a brake dive. 5100s cleared it all up and are smoother, less harsh as well. Just all around better. There are lots of more expensive options but this worked great for me.

    Those tires will fit the truck with no lift. If you want lift, get some sort of shock upgrade. 5100s are adjustable and common. But lots of options based on what you do and want the truck to do.

    Lots of sail boat fuel
    Yup. I ran duratrac 265/75r16 in c load no problem before I lifted.

    And I think they still look fine after the lift.

    Sorry bud, stock shocks are not adjustable.
    Like mentioned above, you'd have to upgrade shocks/springs to achieve lift
