Finally got my truck finished!!

4" BDS with 3" rear coil springs
Bilstein 5100's @ 1.4" up front for the level
305/70/R18 Mastercraft Courser MXT's
Fuel Throttle wheels 18x10 -12 offset

I love the way it looks, turned out better than expected and drives really nice. Barely noticed any road noise from the Mastercrafts, but I have a fairly loud exhaust with a little drone. I still love it all. Wouldn't change a thing.

Before measurements:
Front fender: 36.75"
Rear fender: 39.5"

After measurements:
Front fender: 43.5" (raised 6.75")
Rear fender: 43.5" (raised 4.0")

She's dead level for now. Maybe the Bils will settle a little bit over time.

How far do your tires stick out past the fenders?

Only 1.5 - 2" Not as much as I thought they might. I'll take a pic and post it.

Like most people say on here... maybe better than stock. Has the upgraded Bilstein struts up front, and the BDS shocks with coil springs in the rear. So, much better equipment than OEM. Rides very nice. The Zone package will be a nice ride too. BDS makes Zone.

That is sweet! Make sure to retorque everything in a few hundred miles, I put my 4" on last weekend & was surprised how much they loosened. Enjoy the ride & be careful, I've been having trouble driving with all the panties being thrown at me!
