@buddy guy looks great, 2” front lift is perfect, money well spent and now you have a shop you trust to do other things down the road. That amount of lift is just right and if you get new tires you could always bump up to 285’s or 295/60’s .

thank you...and yep. have to admit after reading all the threads about bilsteins possibly being installed incorrectly i was not exactly excited about it this morning, but thanks to info from this forum and screenshots it was the first thing i mentioned when i brought it in. the owner didn't seem familiar with it, but i don't think he was the tech anyway so not a huge deal. the guy standing beside him who i do think was a tech, knew exactly what i was talking about. he brought a strut out, opened the parts bag and showed the owner the issue. that made me feel better..and excited again! very happy my truck looks like a TRUCK. when i change out the tires it will get a bit more beefier yet and i will be done. (hahahaahahaah.."done"..:dogpile:)

@buddy guy that looks perfect! It really does make a huge difference in how it feels driving and getting in and out of with just a 2in front lift.

Don't forget to check your headlight aim and adjust as needed too.

After over 100,000km on my Goodyear Duratrac tires in 275/65R20, I finally got some new rubber installed. I went with the Bfgoodrich KM3 mud terrains in a 35x12.50R20. My wheels have a 0 offset and have zero issues all around. My bilsteins are set at max up front and I have the 1” longer bilsteins in the back with 1.75” coil spacers.

I have Bils on all 4 corners. The front set at 2.1. I put a 400 lb KTM 990 Super Duke, my 75 pound ramp, and riding gear on the truck. It was perfectly level, and rode NICE!

I know it just a plain ol '11. But I still love my truck!

...Swapped my rear spacers from 1.5” billet to the .75” poly from TGC.

Also, swapped from a 20x9 +18mm Moto wheel, to now a 20x10 -19mm Ballistic wheel!

So, current specs are Bils 2.8 + .75 rear spacer and airlift HD installed. 295/60r20 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT on 20x10 -19mm Ballistic Rage... also have Mevotech UCA’s.

This is the EXACT look I was going for.

Bags actually have nothing right now. The shop I took it to deflated them to pull the other spacers and drop in the new ones.

I will say, it’s dead level on passenger side. And, driver side is .5” of rake. Driver front is .5” lower than passenger front, been like that since day 1.

I have same truck. Just curious. Did you get the rear spacer/block by now? Did the front settle and how much? I’m schedule for install. Prob going 2.8 setting and 1” rear spacer. Wondering if I need the spacer or not.

IMO .75” or 1” rear spacer makes the truck appear dead level to the eye. A 1” rear spacer generally gives .5” to .75” of rake.

Remember, these trucks come with 2.5-3” rake from the factory.

I did the .75” spacer and I would have been just as happy with a 1” spacer. I also have airlift HD bags in the coils.
