Thanks man, I live in PA, and the front windows were tinted. I got pulled over and had to take the tint off.

Bummer. Maybe do a 20% or little higher. Just to kill the glare and maybe keep the 5-0 off your tail. In Ontario the laws are so vague that it could be depending on the officers mood when he pulls you over.

it all depends where you live... I'm between Harrisburg,Gettysburg,York and Carlisle.... No issues and my tint matches the rear and back window. My wife's Jeep is the same way. Either crime is bad where you live and law enforcement trusts no one or you live in the happiest place in PA and this is the worst crime committed??? Haha haha!!!!

Yeah I live near Pittsburgh. It’s not if, but when you will get pulled over for it. Sucks

Lots of nice looking trucks in this thread!
Bils 2.1”
Front 39” driver & 39.25” pax
~3/4” rakeView attachment 141206
275/65/20 Cooper At3

I think this is the exact same setup I'm going for when my tires are ready to be replaced.

Did you notice much of an MPG drop after the bilsteins and these tires?

These should be the same width as the stock tires but 34" instead of 33", so I'm assuming it wouldn't be very noticable.

There’s a bit of a decrease, maybe 5% for sure. I’ve got a long road trip in a few weeks which should be interesting.

I would not do the AT3s again based on less than optimal performance on ice. I have 11k miles on them and wear has been minor.

They should be 34” but I haven’t measured.

Mine on left, ram on right has 275/65/20 Goodyear Duratrac.

Would like to read more on that topic. Mine are set 2.8, and I’ve still got a rake.

Maybe because they already sit slightly higher than everything except the rebel. So the 2.8 isn’t making that much of a difference ? Lol. Sorry suspension is like mandarin to me.

Maybe it’s as simple as whoever installed them did not actually put them at 2.8. I like a little bit of rake. Mine was all over the place when I got it, about 1/4” to 1/2” difference side to side and 2.5-3” front to back.

I just started looking into this. Anyone bought Bils lately and where did you find the best bang for your buck? I'll be doing it on my own, and thanks to other members and turning wrenches since I was six, I'm not worried about that side.

Thanks for any info. I've googled around but I work in Afghanistan so I plan to have them on my doorstep when I get home for some Christmas/ New Years partying.. :)

Took a better pic of it this weekend after washing. Bilstein set at 2.1" with nothin else but some 275/65/20 KO2sView attachment 128283

BDT07,
I really like your truck and color. I have a 2018 Lone Star Silver Edition, bright white like yours and am making some mods to it. On Monday I installed BFG 275/65/20 KO2's like you have. I've been reading about them for a while and decided to make the purchase. I am interested in the Bilstein's and your headlight conversion. Did you just install the Bilstein's on the front? Do you have Quads for your headlights or are the projectors.
Here is the latest of mine after installing the new tires.New Shoes.jpg
