So I just leveled my 2016 tradesman CC w/6.4. Went with a 2.5 kit and then added 18x9 mb wheels with 305/70/18 Cooper st maxx tires. The truck rides like stock still but I was hoping to take it up a notch. I want to get shocks for all 4 corners and wanted some input on my 3 choices. I could go with the bilstein 5100s, fox 2.0, or the icons. I have heard good things about both the bilstein and fox, not much on icon but I know they make quality stuff. Mostly street driving for now but I do tow a travel trailer occasionally and boats. Hope to do a little more offroading in the future though nothing crazy. Also would you guys recommend I put on a steering brace and would I benefit from a drop Pittman at the same time? Thanks

I don't mean to go off topic but any close up pics of your hood black outs? I've been curious of doing something like that.

I don't have any close ups now. I got them off eBay in 3m vinyl. I've had them on a year and they have held up well in the Florida sun.

So the carli suspension is designed to be able to tow and give incredible off road capability and I belive the thuren stuff does as well. Since u still want to be able to have usable pay load those may be viable options for you.
