Do I need to lift the rear end?

[pudzley]

For the record, I DID search and read a TON on lift options for the 4th gen, so I'm armed with a lot of great info, but I still would like someone to confirm a few things

I've got a 2004 SR5 4WD that's completely stock right now. On order is a front/rear set of Bilstein 5100's and new wheels/tires (17x8 +0 Level 8 MK6's wrapped in 265/70/17 Wildpeak A/T tires). Will I have rubbing issues in the rear since these tires are a bit bigger and the wheels stick out a bit farther?

If yes, how much do I need to raise the rear end to remedy this and what would y'all recommend to achieve this? I was about to pull the trigger on a set of Moog rear shocks which are supposed to raise the rear end 1-2" BUT I read that they aren't manufactured well and don't seat properly.

If no, what setting should I use on the front shocks for the truck to be more or less level?

Thanks!!

At most you would remove the mud flaps(probably not with that small of tire) but lifting the rear won't help any anyway.

The rear is easy for fitting tires.

You don't need to lift any.

265 70 17 fit fine in the rear. Front might rub little without the lift.
