Yung lift ko ay 7 inch Skyjacker leaf springs plus 2 inches Downey shackles, so a total of 9 inches.
Yung shoes ko naman ay Toyo Open Country M/T 35x13.5R15 on Mickey Thompson Classic II 15x12 rims.
Yung pics, later na lang muna. No time kasi, tapos this Saturday, relief operation and medical mission naman sa Binan, Laguna. Marami doon na knee to waist deep flood pa.

I've seen those mudtires personally and they're awesome looking. They also have good offroad reviews. They would certainly look good in your hilux.
I have mudtires myself and I can live with them as a daily drive.
Cons for street use are 1. they're noisy but not to the point of being intrusive, 2. speed rating is only up to 160 kph, 3. slippery on wet pavement, but only when you speed up to more than 80 kph or when the tire is too wide which makes any tire prone to hydroplaning, 4. wear down relatively much faster than H/T or A/Ts, and 5. there's some compromise in braking performance due to less rubber in contact with the pavement.
All these cons, however, can be negated by driving much more carefully and avoiding tailgating.
IMO, with your lifestyle, jetskis and all, the M/Ts would certainly fit.
