This is awesome. Exactly what I came here for. Thanks for providing all of this info. Just picked up my 2019 and not sure what to do with her yet.

Glad it helped you! Congrats on the new truck! If you decide to do a 6" lift the Fabtech lift is the one to get. I've taken several road trips since it's been lifted and it does great.

The Hellwig sway bar doesn't have a 6" lift option but only up to 4 inches?. Is this what you used and did you need to mod anything for it to fit?

The Core end links don't have a 2019 option. Are they the same as for the 2018?

The lift shouldn’t matter on the sway bar, the end links do. Yes the core end links fit 2009-2019

What CincyCuda68 said is correct. The sway bar part number I got is 7709, which says for stock height. I didn't need the end links as the Fabtech kit came with new ones. Then I switched to the Core 4x4 ones as they are much beefier. Yes the 2018 will fit, I called and confirmed this before buying. I didn't know at the time but I do believe Nick@GotExhaust carries both of these and can give you a discount. Oh and no mods are needed for either.

Here is the angle after the lift.

The Core end links will fit the 19, we can get you set up if you like. Just PM me

Send me a message with your full vehicle info and we can help you out. The 2500's were mainly a cosmetic update. We can confirm with manufacturers and go over options with you

I will be. Unfortunately my son backed into my 2500 the day before I traded it. Didn't leave a mark but the fusion took a 2k hit to the rear and I gotta fix that first. There goes 1 month of my big pay raise. No need to buy the lift until I got the tire,wheels, sway bar, end links and $1200 install money which totals around 8k I guess so it will be 3 or 4 months. That I wasn't in my master plan.

Btw, maybe I missed it but what was the offset on your new rims and do you know the oem 20" offset by chance? I'd like to put 22x10" rims with a 35 tire how much clearance do you have on full steering lock left and right on your setup?

 

[Nick@GotExhaust]

FYI for the 2019 3/4 and 1 ton owners. There are some differences mainly with the front driveshaft and trackbar. There are at least 3 manufacturers working on lifts for the 2019. 2 of them told me today that next month they should be releasing them.

Tires are 35"x12.5"R20, rims are 20x9, 5" back spacing, offset is +1. This is the recommended setup in the Fabtech directions (https://fabtechmotorsports.com/instructions/FT23200i.pdf) for my lift. From what I saw the stock offset is 19.05 mm, not positive of this. I have no rubbing at all, and didn't have to trim anything. I've never measured how much clearance. I would call Fabtech and see what offset and back spacing they recommend with a 22x10" rim.

gas mileage before and after?

gas mileage before and after?

Typically I'm hitting the go go juice pretty hard and don't pay too much attention to gas mileage. I did take a road trip before the lift and I got 22 mpg. On a road trip after the lift I got 18.5 mpg.

 

[CincyZach]

New wheels and tires.

BFGoodrich TA KO2 LT325/60R20

Fuel Coupler D575 20x9 offset +1

Initial thoughts: ride is much better. Truck feels faster ( this set up is lighter than original, even tho the tire is bigger) will have to update on how they are in the rain and snow. So far I’d say they are easily a league above the Ridge Grappler.

Did you have an issue with the ridge grapplers?
