Plus your Bils at 2.1 right?
What brand lift is it?
It’s a rough country. I set the Bils at 2.1 but did not have install the preload spacers that come with the kit. I only used the spacers that bolt on top of the strut assembly

it looks great. I couldn't fit that in my garage though. I'll have to settle on a level and 1.5" body lift

6” w/bilsteins at 2.1. No preload spacers. 1.5” body lift. Fuel Hostage 20x10 -24 offset. Nitto Ridge Grapplers 37x12.25View attachment 117703

Very nice! Is it level with that setup? I was debating doing what you did with the bilsteins or purchase rough country’s 6” lift struts to eliminate all the spacers.

It sits about 1” lower in the front so still a little rake. I think if you set Bils at 2.8 you’d be good though. I thought about the rough country struts too but the Bils were the same price on amazon and everyone on here seems to like them so much I went with them.

Yea I’ve had the bils before and liked them a lot so that’s what’s making it hard taking a chance with the rough country struts but they seem to have good reviews so I’m not sure yet. If ya get a chance to post up a straight on side view of your truck on level ground I’d really appreciate it man.

I’ll try and remember tomorrow. Went out and tried now but it’s too dark and couldn’t really tell

So do you guys just ditch the spare tire when you're running larger than stock? It's not like you'd put a 275 on when you're running a 35" Falken, right?

I still have mine but only because I have nowhere to keep it in the garage. I have a full size spare with matching wheel and tire sitting in the bed. Hell I still have my factory jack installed.

so all you folks that lifted and put 35s on the trucks, how did you adjust the speedometer for the rolling circumference difference?

mine came with the tuner but after having my DRL's activated the other day it didn't seem right. I went in and cleared codes and put in the 35's and 3.92. I have a radar detector that shows speed on it so that's how i knew it was off.

also was looking into a different grille...had some plasti-dip i ordered 2 years ago and finally opened the box. works for now. lol

thanks. it was actually my first time using plastidip. I also got the bushwhacker flares the other day, just black like they come... I think it's just the right amount of contrast with the green. If they get scratched or anything I figure i can just plastidip them and they will be good as new!
