Welcome and truck looks great!

What tires are you running?

Been waiting to clean her up to post pics but feel guilty washing her when all 55 counties in the state of WV are in a State if Emergency for drought conditions.

So..... 2017 4x4
2.8 5100s
1” Daystar spacer with stock shocks in rear
Off Road Monster M08 w/ 0 Offset
Nitro Ridge Grapplers 305/55/20

I do wish I’d gone with 1.5” but TGC didn’t have anything available due to the buy out when I was ready to purchase. Other than that, I LOVE it! Hopefully I can get some better pics soon. Thanks to all on this board. How-to’s were huge help!

Alright, I’ll join the club.. kind of a newbie here, only one post in the bag but I’ve been gleaning information from here for a while and bought my truck 3 weeks ago. I didn’t put a full tank of fuel through it before I started the mods [emoji57]. I talked to Nick at gotexhaust and he hooked me up with Bilsteins up front and a fox 2.0/icon spring combo in the rear. Here’s how she looks before and after:



Bilsteins are at 2.8 and the icons added 1.5 in the rear. Also added the Mevotech TTX UCA’s for peace of mind. I’m on stock 20” sport rims with 275/60/20 Goodyear wrangler A/T’s
What a great ride this combo is. I can’t wait to take a longer trip and really get a feel for her, but just the little bit I’ve driven so far has been stellar!

How do you like the ICON rear coils? I currently have ICON rear shocks now and want to add those. I ordered the front coil overs from ICON and those will replace the front Bilstein.
FYI, Bilstein are digressive vs ICON is digressive & linear. Personally, I am going all 4 ICON with their coils.
Anyways, lol, let me know how the ride is with the coils.
Thanks

….Bilstein are digressive vs ICON is digressive & linear.....

Could you define "digressive" and "digressive & linear" for a non-suspension person such as me? Thanks.

Sure can. Here is a pic. The taller the color the firmer the ride. Now, to avoid body roll, firm is good. But, bad on pot holes and bumps. So, ICON did both. Linear on compression and digressive on rebound. Like a hybrid if you will.
To recap, Bilstein and Fox are digressive vs ICON (Fox shock) is digressive and linear, both.

2" wheel spacers

Bilstein 5100s all around with Air Lift 1000s on rear as well. Front set to 2.1, looks so much better taking away some of that factory rake. Now just some bigger AT tires.

I have the same as you, along with 1.5" spacers in the rear as it sat front hi even at 2.1. It sits level now, it's just on uneven ground here. The bigger BFGs really look nice on it compared to stock.

I did a quick measurement before taking the picture before it got too dark. It looked like like a little less than 1 inch of rake left. It had a ton of rake before the struts were installed. But yeah I'm looking into getting some Cooper AT3 XLTs at 275/65/20

 

[Luau_Pig]

Bils all around @ 2.1 in front. 305/55/20 Falken AT3 on Dirty Life Ironman 9300 20x10 -19

 

[Curtis Scott]

Bils @2.8 w/ new mevotech UCA’s, rear bils with 1” rear coil spacer on 285/65/20 BFG KO2’s

No rub, 3/4” rake
