Right here is what I’m talking about. You have to use the larger nut as a spacer to keep the mounting nut from binding on those splines as it pulls through.

THANK YOU SO_O_O MUCH. I want to lift the front of my 2018 but don't want to do the Bilstiens (spelled wrong I'm sure) like I did on my 2016. Mess up a shock and your lift is kaput.
Thanks

Op,

With your new setup do you know the biggest size tire you can fit, if you ever went bigger?

Thanks

Most people seem to be able to clear up to 35’s with just a 2” level. I’ve cycled the steering and checked the clearance and it looks like I’d be able to fit a 35 with little to no rubbing anywhere.

Figured I’d update this with new tires installed. I know I said I wasn’t going bigger than 33, but you know how that goes, lol.. I went with the new Milestar Patagonia XT in 275/65/20. I love the overall look now, I think the tires really finish it off.

Here’s a better look of the tread on these tires. Very similar to the Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

Just came across your build. Looks awesome and you set yours up similar in stance to mine. Sit s just right and Looks great! How you like those tires. I ended up with the AT-r from milestar but almost went with the xt.

My initial impression is really good on these tires. They ride smooth and quiet, much quieter than expected from the aggressive appearance. I’ve ran full on mud tires before and they’re nothing like that at all. Closest comparison is to a set of BFG AT ko2’s that I used to have. Just a little bit of hum if you really listen, but just barely.

Awesome! They look sick! I wasn't a fan of 20s coming into this build but this really is a great size for every day use. If those end up doing well for you I'd look into them as my next set. The older I get the more I appreciate a good set of road manners vs the overall offroad performance. Plus I haven't seen any hit in mpg or any adverse effect at all. Not much out there on the milestar brand aside from the mt which was why I went with the AT-r. These are stock tire quiet.

Your truck looks just about perfect, but I'm biased to this look.
