Same here, central TX is going thru a shitty summer as far as high temps and zero rain.
I tinted mine to 20% last summer, and no issues. I usually keep the slider closed unless I'm using the sunroof.
Dallas Offroad has always done great work when I've used them. I haven't had a lift installed there but they've done re-gearing and an axle swap for me and I was really pleased with the experience.
I put Bilstein 5100 shocks and used factory springs. I set the front at 1.75" and put a 1" Cornfed spacer in the rear. I still retained a small amount of rake so I can load up the back and be ok. Some people prefer no rake at all.
Overall I'm very happy with the way it rides. I didn't like the softness of the stock set up as far as body roll and brake dive. The 5100s are firmer for sure but ride nicely on and off road. I'm not a hard core off roader by any means so I didn't need a crazy expensive suspension upgrade. The...

I run 275s on mine now too, thankfully had no issues with balancing them. I did have that problem with the WPs on my Tacoma though. Took 2 tries to get them balanced.
I have a 2019 Barcelona Red ORP. I've always had white or silver vehicles but this one got me when I saw it on the lot in person. With the blacked out emblems and wheels they look very sharp. They do look different shades of red in different light which is really cool too. I don't think you'd be...
