Do the shocks affect the ride quality at all? So you don't have spacers at all, you still use the factory springs? Did you lift the rear too? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to learn... Thanks!

Most people say they ride better than stock at 2.1 and lower.

Any issues with wheel pressure sensors and different tires. Those 295 on that blue truck look sweet. Why do people say they looked stuffed. Those are 35s acording to nittos site

I've had no issues with TPMS on my wheels and it's been 32 degrees one day and then 70 the next and they're still going strong

so are those the 295/60 r20 or the 295/60r20. I want to keep stock crome clads, you say they rub at full lock, what does trhis mean, wont that kill the tire, will 1/4 spacers fix

295/65/20 rubs the upper control arm (inside of the tire) a 1/4" spacer would fix the rubbing.

I've been doing some research on the 5100s and they seem to be the best way to go. You get any of the vibration or suspension settling that other guys are talking about?

They settled a very small amount. I had to re measure just to actually see it. I've had zero vibration @2.1 setting

I would personally go with the 60's myself if just on a level, if you would like a very competitive quote please feel free to reach out to us we would be more than happy to get a set of Nitto's out to you :) our contact info is below in our signature!

Thanks

I have a 2.5 inch leveling kit from Hell Bent Steel. I put 295/70/17's on it. But there is plenty of room for 35's.

This may be a dumb question, but does Bilstein make those shocks for a 2WD?

You get a 4wd shake when they are set to 2.8

I seem to have the worst case of this. Some people have it, some don't. I have it pretty bad and am planning on trouble shooting this spring. I'm guessing do to angle of the axles.

I've only experienced it once, and i was pretty hard on the pedal in some snow on dirt roads. I'm thinking lowering down to 2.1 and having a bit of rake.

That's what I'm contemplating. I'm going to do the body lift and see what kind of clearance my wheels have before I decide on a route.

I was thinking same thing with body lift... maybe the 1.25 rather then the 3in. I only have a rcsb so i dont want it to high, i think it'll look better kinda stuffed.
