i just received my bilsteins and endlinks today. I wanted to go to 2.8, was told 2.1 would fit 35's also though.

My biggest question is in the vibration in 4x4 mode. Will i get it @ 2.8 or more prone to?

I also ordered mevotechs as well for the truck

Mines a 2014 Laramie.

Anything else I need to consider before installing?

Not decided yet. I like the fuel mavericks but heard they have cracking issues around the lugs. I don't want to drop a ton of money on them and have to worry about that.

Looking at the xd grenades, Moto metal razor 978's or the hostile alpha h109.

Looking at the toyo open country at2. Was looking at the atturo xt's but read bad reviews on them

Looking at a 20x10 with -24 offset. 35x12.5 tire.

Just upgrading. The guy I bought the bilsteins from added them on for $50. Over $100 easy new. Still new in box, couldn't pass deal up.

Plus it was recommend to upgrade the stock end links, from what I read.

Great to know!

Are they referring to 4wd lock, or even in 4 auto it happens? I only use the 4 auto in the snow or ice, otherwise it's always in 2wd.

Would you recommend 2.1 or 2.8?

I don't want to go 2.1 and wish I would have went max and have to tear it all out to adjust it.

Since I've had no issues at 2.8 I'd certainly suggest 2.8 ....

Imo the 4wd vibe has nothing to do with diff 4wd modes or what xsfer case you have ie...the BW 44-44 OR the BW 44-45 , I have the -45 which does not have the ( auto)
I believe the vibration deals more with the CV angle...some have the vibes & some just don't ??

Fwiw some have vibes at +2.1"
