These trucks are huge with just a leveling kit. This is how a truck should be. Chevy looks like a low rider.

I got 285/75/18 on my truck with no lifts (yet). Which is a 35x11.2x18. Doesn’t rub at all, nothing on the trailing arms, fender liners, or mud flaps

Deciding on what lift I want to go with. Either tuff country 3” front and 1” rear leaf spring blocks, and fox ifp shocks with a fox steering stabilizer (because why not [emoji2369])

-or-

Thuren 2.25” diesel springs, overland shocks, and track bar kit (says over 20k to do it. And I’m at 36k) and steering stabilizer shock and decide if I want to get the 1” rear leaf block ($900 for leaf springs is abit spendy and more the. I want to get into doing)

Thuren all the way!!!

And I am assuming you meant track bar, not drag link?

Had the wheels installed today and ordered a 2" Thuren level kit with the Fox 2.0s and adjustable track bar (website say a week or two for delivery :( ). Now I gotta make a decision on tires.

Well I put my leveling kit on yesterday. I already have 285/65/20 tires on it./ Its the Rough Country 2.5" leveling kit. View attachment 177963
I don't understand why FCA doesn't build them this way. They look so much better.

I come from a time that if you wanted the ass end jacked up, you bought Gabriel Hijacker air shocks and ran 'em up to 90 lbs or so.

Looks good!

IM pretty sure they build them that way for all the old guys who buy them to actually pull a 5th wheel so they can see easier over hood especially after the slight squat of hooking a trialer up it doesnt look like its sagging

Makes sense.
Seems to me that those 'old guys (me)' pulling a TT (not me yet) are a small % of the total truck buying market. I am more inclined to believe FCA thinks like Harley Davidson thinks. Put ugly, non-shiny parts on it, a hard ass seat, un ergonomic bars and then offer shinier, more comfortable parts at a rediculous price. The old addage: What's the hardest Harley you can find?......A bone stock one.


Cha chingggg.
