Had couple of delays in getting my truck started in a direction I want and today I finally got my flares and wheel/tire combo installed. 2500 flares, 20x9, +1mm Hostages and 305/55's Toyo Open Country AT's. Truck has a 2.5" level and I think I need 1.5" rear, has a little too much squat especially towing my Ranger 800XP. What ya'll think?

Beautiful!

That is a CLEAN looking truck man. Congrats!

Is there something in your bed? It almost looks like you are ass end heavy :p

I haul about 150 lbs all the time which stays at the front of the bed. Those springs must be very soft if they're squatting my truck that much. It's a 1/4-1/2" low now and the ranger drops it another 1/2" I pull a midsize ranger about 20K miles a year in my work so I need to get back to level or a little above when towing..

Thanks for the props :D

Very nice truck. I think you chose the perfect offset and tire size for those flares. Looks great.

Maybe just some spacers in the back. Truck looks really good though!

I wish they made a set of flares that actually have a finished appearance on the Sports, I am wanting to add flares to mine but personally feel the flares don't look right on the one piece sport bumpers.

Not sure if you're still in the market but I searched for a while too and concluded the OEM one's look best, but if you notice, the Original Poster has the "2500" or "pwer wagon" flares, they are a tad short, compare to laramie or TRX flares that come down a bit further, btw the oem's stick out 1":Good or Bad:
