Can't wait to see it. It's gonna look sick! I'll see if we can get a mod to move this to the member's area. :)

Update

Bilsteins at 2.8 installed. 20x10 fuel hostage -24 with toyo mt 35x12.50 installed. Bilsteins took 4 an ahalf hours. Not a bad DIY. Mirrors should be here tuesday. Overall very satisfied will post pics later, And it only rubs on the drivers side. I think an alignment would cure it. These trucks are fing big. Im 6 foot and I now have to jump a lil to get in. Cant wait till taxes to get the body and suspension lift.

So everybody keeps saying low offset / wide wheels will rub. Even been told I may have slight rubbing at 6" of lift with 20x10 -24 and 35x12.50 yet you have a leveling kit with 20x10 -24 and 35x12.50 and say it barely rubs on one side. This is why I'm always so indecisive. Don't know what is real world experience and what is heresay...looking forward to the pics

@bagged, yeah I was on the fence too I just think everyone is different. Im a 2014 so who knows. If it does rub after I get an alignment I guess ill just grind down a brand new truck. Whatever u do just go for it.

Update with pics and measurements

Not sure how the pics loaded. Only one I really wanted express was the inner fender pic. It is pointing to the driver side inner fender were im rubbing. Which the toe on the driver side is noticable. So the alignment just might solve that issue. Now to give some measurements

1.front fender 40.5 inches/rear fender 40.5 inches(so im level exactly)
2. Middle of drivers door handle 49 inches
3. Bottom of mirror 56 inches

Hope these are useful. just to recap I installed bilsteins maxed, fuel hostage 20x10-24 offset backspacing 4.5 with toyo mt's. Ride is smooth better than expected. After 20 miles on the new tires mpgs hasnt budged 11.9 which is my normal highest is 13.0 this is all city. If any one has questions just ask. Ill to give my best input.

Nice ride ! I have a 1500 QC all red . Really liking your tire / wheel combo !!!!
Q#1 did the alignment work ?
#2 did you have the stock 20× 9" wheels and if so do you happen to know the weight difference between the stock setup and what you have now ?



I SHOT IT WITH MY P.S.E. EVO MAX !!!!
