Thanks for everyone that gave me advise and helped me out, especially JB1 and Nick from gotexhaust. As I said it's the Zone 4 inch lift with the 3 inch coil options for the rear plus 1 inch rear spacer. Bilstein 6112s up front set at notch 6 (about 2 inches) with the Zone upper control arms. The CV angles are almost flat and the balljoint angles are great. The wheels are Motiv Magnus 20x10 -25 offset, wrapped in Cooper Discoverer STT pros 35x12.5. Front height to middle of wheel well is 44.5 inches both sides, and 45 both sides in the rear which was perfect since I wanted a smidge of rake.

Very nice. Taking some of the preload off the front (2.8 to 2) helped soften things up up front, and the fox 2.0 shocks I went to in the rear ride a bit softer than the Bilsteins did imo. Super happy with it.

Are those replacement rear control arms peeking out?

And #@$! dude! I thought I got settled into a lift combo I want, start saving and preparing for an install this fall (current world crisis hopefully notwithstanding), and you put up a perfect looking setup. That looks freaking awesome. I was thinking some Foxes up front. Might do that first then add your setup on top.

Nice! the exact wheels im going with in a couple weeks. Took me forever to find what i wanted. I changed my mind 3 or 4 times. Once i saw the Motiv Magnus i knew thats what i wanted. Also wanted a 12 wide for more lip but the 10 will be better with 12.5 tires and they look great. Where did you end up getting them from?

Haha thanks! I'm pretty stoked about it too I've wanted a lifted truck for a long time. And they are! Core 4x4 upper and lowers along with a red powdercoated hellwig swaybar to match. Huge improvement over stock. I'm actually about to pull the trigger on a panhard bar from them too. And haha I know the feeling, I spent tons of time on custom offsets and here looking at different setups before I settled on one. Foxes will be sweet too, I originally just had the level but decided to throw the lift ontop of it because I always want more lol. Be sure to post some pics when you get yours done and feel free to ask about any of it along the way

Oh I feel ya, I had about 10 different wheels picked out and kept going back and forth. Some looked good by themselves but you put them on a truck and it isn't how you imagined it or it changes the look of them lol. I love them because not only do they look sweet and aggressive imo, but also because I rarely see anyone with them. I looked and called and emailed all over the damn internet for these and everyone said out of stock with 8 to 10 week or more national backorder, but customwheeloffsets had them in stock even though their site said out of stock. I actually just signed up through them to be emailed when they came back since I love custom offsets and will always try to buy from them, and I got an email about an hour later saying they had some in the warehouse.

What spacers did you use for the rear?

Proryde. I love em. They use a cool locking system that stacks and you can pick 1, 1.5, or 2 inches. They also have a bolt that holds them in place so it guarantees no noise like some of the others

Man. That looks amazing! What is your overall lift? I currently have 5100's with spacers in back and 35s. 35's with a 6 inch look funny and I don't want to bump it up to 37's due to gear hunting and drivability that JB1 stated. Your truck looks right. Proportionate

6 inches actually. 4 inch zone lift and my bilstein 6112s set to 2 inches. The rear is 4 inches, 3 from the coil and the 1 inch spacer

Beautiful ride! How tough was that flag decal to install? I have been on the fence on that exact one for a while, and keep telling myself getting it on straight with no bubbles must be impossible. After seeing yours, I think I have to have one.
