I'm really new to all of this upgrading stuff, and though I have been reading many posts and the in-depth guide on the 1500 lift/levelling/tire I am still feeling unsure of what to do.
After finally getting through 100k KMS on my 2013 2500 Outdoorsman, my tires are ready for replacement. The stock set up is LT365 / 70R17.
I'm looking to probably keep the rims for now, if I can, but would like to bump up the tire sizes to 35" or 36". With that I know I'll require a bit of a lift, and since that is something that would be needed I'd like to get some better suspension while I am at it to improve the ride quality so the everything isn't shaking like crazy even from small bumps, let alone something a bit rougher hah. At the same time I'd like to still maintain good hauling capability so I'm not lifting off into the sky every time I hook up the camper or load up some gravel.
I've been looking at a 1.5~2.0" lift suspension from Fox, and it sounds good but I have no idea what to actually expect in terms of ride quality. What is the difference between Factory Race Series and Performance Series?
Would I need an offset to accomodate the tires? I guess that depends on which ones I would want? What are some good ones that have a nice look, good offroad performance but still good and durable on highways (most of my driving) as well as all season winter/ice performance (is that too many things to be asking for from just one tire? hah)
I found a nice looking set up, attached it below. The offset might be a little more than I like but the tires look awesome. I might even go for that bumber too.
If possible I'm just looking for some guidance on what parts/setup I should be looking for to achieve this look and still have good ride quality. I'm not looking for too much of a lift, I like the more fitted look with the big tires.
Thanks everyone in advance for helping out. Really great community here.
