Anyone happen to have pics of a 2022 Laramie with 5100’s front and back. Front set at #5, 1.7inches. Also with 18in wheels would be extra helpful. Thanks. Would love to see what it would look like with 18x9 wheels and 285/65/18 tires.

I recently upgraded from my 2018 BH to a 2021 Laramie, both CCSB and 4x4.

Had Bilsteins set at 2.1" on the last truck to give 3/4" of rake and was able to fit both 275/65R20 and 285/60R20 DuraTracs on it. Looking for the same sort of setup on the new truck, but want to include wheels this time.

New proposed setup:
-Bilstein 5100s (@ 2.1" / same rake as the last truck)
-Method NV305s (18 x 9)
-DuraTracs in either 295/65R18 or 325/65R18 (sizes are limited with DuraTracs)

@Nick@GotExhaust or @Quick_Shifter any suggestions?

19' with front and rear 5100 Bilstein; fronts set at 2.1" raised and stock springs on all four corners. I still have a little front biased rake which I wanted because I occasionally tow or haul generators.

This pic I'm on my LT285/65R20 BFG KO2's. I'm now on LT295/65R20 Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires and I am much happier with the ride and performance (especially in rain).

Yes, I miss the more aggressive look of the BFG's. But I now have a slight additional increase in height with the Michelin's, and the Michelin's are about 5lb a tire lighter even though they are bigger, and they balanced out between 0.75oz and 2.5oz per tire, whereas the BFG's took between 7.25oz and 10.25oz per tire.

My new tires are equal to 35.1" OD (at least that's what their specs say...lol), and I have zero rubbing or turning issues. I can go full stop side to side in forward or reverse and have zero rub (the same with my old BFG's, too).
