1) My recently-departed stock 2008 Tacoma had BF Goodrich All Terrain TA KO: LT 265/75/R16. (I know I want at least that much tire again, but I don't know much more.)
2) We plan to put a FWC Fleet shell on the new Tacoma.
3) We now have a new 2015 TRD Tacoma Access Cab/with V6 and 6 speed manual, off-road package. (The same truck, really.)
4) We are not hardcore off-roaders (or I'd know more) but we like to explore and our rock climbing takes us places often difficult to get to, for example, we did the moderately difficult 4WD Shuteye Peak Trail in Sierra National Forest in the old Tacoma, and, in the process, destroyed a set of BFG Rugged Trails (the stock tire on our new Tacoma now.)
Should I get new tires first, and the suspension upgrade after I get the FWC? Blisteins 5100's all around? Supersprings? Hellwigs? Firestone airbags? A lift package? I don't know why but I think my 2008 had better clearance, and the tires (above mentioned) are only going to add a half an inch, I believe. How much clearance do you think would be right for our moderate ambitions? How should I achieve it?
Thanks for any ideas.
