Me and a friend. It took about 5hrs with air tools, jack, jack stands, and good assortment of tools. Hardest part was getting to the driver side top bolt to the rear shock. Gas tank is kinda in the way. Took about 2' of extensions on the rachet.

Do you think you'll have any issues with the rear lift since the bilstein say they are good for up to a 1" rear lift?

2015 ram 1500 SLT with bilstiens on all four four corners front set at 2.8

With 285/75/17 on factory wheels

Before I did my level and tires I searched this entire thread to see if somebody was running this tire sizes on 17 inch wheels and couldn't find anyone so hopefully this helps someone. They don't rub at least not while on pavement e17c6dbf648242a1b7ba5960d9a80bca.jpg7f2bf9c44e500d4f8d09755378d87f50.jpg91990356cef861a9dc2a1b433022522e.jpgaff6576ea0e26c36e2664a3bad370e2d.jpg

Glad you posted those pics, makes me think about keeping my stock rims. I had not seen any pictures of my wheels with big tires before.
I love the fact they are under the truck and not sticking out a bunch.

So I went through Extreme Customs to get my rims and tires and would highly recommend them to you or anyone in the market for different rims. They beat everyone's prices on my set up and come with rims and tires mounted with OEM TPMS and a lug nut kit

https://www.extremecustoms.com/

Shipping was fast, I only had to wait 10 days and that's bc one of my rims was on back order. Customer service was also great and they called me to confirm everything before they shipped anything.

It's approximately 1"
Great look. I am torn between the KO2s and Toyo Open Country AT2s. I feel like i'll regret not spending the little bit extra on something that should last me 2.5 or more years.

Bilsteins set at 2.1, factory 20" sport wheels and tires. Would like to eventually put new wheels and beefier tire's in but not in the cards at the moment. I did have horrible front end vibrations when using 4x4 post bilsteins. Did an alignment,Put new c/v's in and still had the issue. Ended up putting a zone off-road diff drop kit on the truck which finally took care of the problem. Some people have he issue, some don't.... I just so happened to be one of the in lucky few.
