I have had my Bilsteins for a couple of months now but haven’t had them installed yet. I have a 2016 Laramie 4x4. I also purchased rear Bilsteins and 1.5 rear spacers. Here’s my dilemma, I still have the stock tires so my concern is that it will look like way too much fender space. I have also been researching tires like crazy and I would love to keep the 275/60/20 when I replace them, just in a more aggressive tread.
My reasoning for keeping the same tire size is that I am pretty cheap and I drive a ton of miles for my job. It seems like any tire size bigger than stock is ridiculously expensive compared to stock. The tires I am leaning towards are the Falken wildpeak all terrains.
I have scanned all of the pictures in most of these Bilstein threads and there aren’t a lot of people keeping the stock tire size.
To test the looks of the truck I jacked up the front until it was exactly level with the back because if I understand correctly 2.8 with a stock rear should be close to level. To me it didn’t seem to have too much fender space and I think(hope) that the same size tire in an all terrain would be fine??
My appointment is tomorrow and I am second guessing going 2.8 with the 1.5 rear on stock sized tires! Help ease my mind either way, please!
