Yeah Shadow, are you planning the 1.5" zone body lift also?
Thats where i am really stuck... LOL its hard to tell if it will look funny with stock 33's....
the guy i quoted above was running 34's with 1.5' body lift and a level i believe, so not quite same as my bils are at 2.8

i have a feeling it will look fine... but i am going to order the carven progressive first LOL

If you max out the bils plus a 1.5" bl I think you're going to look a little goofy with stock 33's. 33x12.5 with some offset to get them outside the wheel well maybe, but I would say 34's minimum if not 35's.

The body lift is on the wish list. We'll see how things go. Maybe I'll add it when I add tires.


I guess we ARE in the same boat LMAO..

I may buy it and hold onto it until tires also.

it is muffler time lmao

I try to visualize but its hard to do.

I think it would look like a stock 2500 or stock f250 their tires do look a little small IMO

thanks!

if i have time when i have the BL kit in hand then i will install the kit and see what it looks like and take pics.
thats the only real way to tell.

if it was a 3" body kit i think for sure needs 35's without question...

I like my stance now. I don't have the $$ for a 4" suspension lift, so the best I would do is the 1.5" bl. I agree though, that I should probably run 35s when I do that.

Man than looks awesome! Bright white FTW! My bilstein 5100s are being installed as we speak. If I don't let them this would be my new goal. MY highway commute would mean A/T's not M/T's for me.

Cant wait to see end results. Im lucky my commute is about 25 miles round trip no freeways. Did for a week have a 70 mile round trip, tires did great on that too

I'm gonna go with Terra Grappler G2's. Bilstein 5100s just went on today so I'll drive for a few days and let them settle before leveling. I'll decide tires in a couple weeks I guess.

How does the truck ride on 37s?

Truck rides really good. Smooth through the gears and I can cruise 65-75 no vibrations or issues with little road noise. I kept them at 45 psi

are you running spacers? I have a finder's width from uca to tire now, I can't imagine putting more tire on and not needing something on a stock rim.

A fingers width is a ton of clearance, you only need and 1/8" at most. That leaves you lots of room to go wider without issue.
