Had my BFG KO2s installed yesterday. Completes the look I was going for and came out exactly how I envisioned it.

Looks how a truck should look [emoji106][emoji106]. That’s the look I’m going for as well. Subtle, clean, practical and that looks sooooo sweet.

That looks sweet. Exactly what I’m looking for. So you went with 275/65? That’s what, about an inch taller? I know stock size in the KO2 is 8 ply. That size as well?

Yup, 1.1" bigger than the stock size. 275/60 is 33", 275/65 is 34.1". Not sure about the ply.

Looks perfect!

Your truck is the spitting image of mine and thats exactly how I want my truck to look eventually. How are you liking the KO2s so far? Seriously considering those for my next set of tires...

Thanks man. I'm loving the KO2s so far. They look great and perform way better than the factory SR-As. No longer am I weary of taking wet corners fearing my tires might slide out from under me.

Guys- got my front Bilsteins installed today. I followed the instructions from R.L.K. and the youtube video by TexasJAGD from Page 3 of this thread. Texas JAGD made it look easy! Everything came apart fine, although I missed R.L.K.'s note about not having to completely remove the sway bar mount- just loosen enough. I did the right side first and it was sprung so it had tension on it for some reason. Left side didn't! Needless to say, I had to fashion a bracket out of angle iron and threaded rods to squeeze it back down. I clamped it between the lower control arm and the sway brace and threaded it down almost like a spring compressor . Worked nicely!! Also, originally started the spring compressors using ratchets, then said "F*ck this" and used my impact. Sped things up a bunch!! Needless to say the first one took 5 hours and the second was about 2 hours.
I set them at the highest setting- 2.8, and I gained about 3 1/2" in front! Pretty psyched. The before and after pics don't do it justice. Perhaps I took them too close, but in real life the stance is worlds different!! I'm waiting on my 3/4" TopGunz spring spacers for the rear now and it'll be time for some wheels and tires!!

Awesome [emoji106][emoji106]

Just did a 600 mile trip (300 each way) with the back of the truck full of "stuff" (a refrigerator, a 100lb. propane tank, and 4 giant boat batteries) and pulling a 8x5 trailer with my ATV on it. Man.... these Bilsteins are great! No problems at all and still had a nice cushy ride.

Front Bils installed and set at 2.1. Almost perfect level. Rear barley 1/4" higher than front. Truck rides great, firm and controlled. I think I need Bils on the rear also? Stock feels like mush at 30,000 miles. Bils really feel much more controled.

Bilstein 5100' on all 4 corners. Front set at 2.1. Love the ride much more stable on the road and not as lose when cornering.

Just went outside to measure for you. Highest point of the top of my truck with this setup is 75" with the XM shark fin antenna on it 78". The 2.1 setting makes it almost perfectly level. I have 1/2 inch lower in the front which gives it the level look with a very slight rake.
