Body lift? I see that you're v6. Are you 4wd?

Bilstein 5100's shouldn't give you any issues with the ball joints as they keep the suspension travel within OEM specs. If you really want to error on the site of caution you can install a set of Zone UCA's to ensure you won't have any issues but they aren't really necessary for your application.

Sweet truck! How wide are those rims? I got the night edition, that came with 20x8 rims. I wish they were 20x9 instead, so I could run 295's.

are you sure they are 20x8? the night edition is a sport, and sport rims generally have always been 20x9
but i'm sure you will find that many people have run 295's or even wider on 8" rims

on the sticker, it did say 20x8 under standard equipment, but under optional it said 20x8. so i assumed it's 20x8. it has 275/60 tires on it now. do you think 295/60 would fit? i'm trying to find pics of our truck with 295/60 tires with the rims that come with the night edition, and bilstein 2.1 leveling kit installed.

yes they should, but look at the tires manufactures website. It will list the approved rim width. For instance I have Toyo M/T's in 295/60/20 and the approved range is 8" to 10"
