I stopped by the shop and the install is going fine. Man, that Core4x4 stuff is beastly.

Based on my actual before measurements, with the new tires and suspension, I'm predicting fender height increasing from 36.5"-F to 39.38" and 39"-R to 41.38", with the rake decreasing from 2.5" to 2".

All done!

Looks sweet. How's the ride/handling? Any tire rub? What'd the lift measurements end up at? I have so many questions, haha. I ended up ordering Icon Stage 1 w/Delta Joint UCAs (not installed yet), but Fox 2.0 front & rear w/Zone UCAs was my other consideration.

So, I only have about 15 minutes driving, and it seems fine. It’s slightly firmer around town than the stock stuff. I haven’t measured yet; but will soon.

Have you tried turning at full lock in reverse? Also curious about rubbing. Btw I love the tire set up.

Not in reverse; but full lock going forward and so far, no rubbing. I will experiment tomorrow.

The shop did say there was no rubbing at all; but I will experiment tomorrow.

Ok, here’s a before and after pic. Sorry it isn’t in the exact same spot or orientation.

Before fender height was Front-36.5”, Rear-39”

After fender height is Front-39.5”, Rear is 41.5”

I can’t wait to clean off the tire shine goop the shop put on. Also can’t wait to get up to speed on the sandy forest roads. It should be fun.

Looks great. The Core blue looks to be very close to your paint color too!!

It does! The shop asked if I had them custom painted to match.

That looks great. I'm sure you'll be able to tackle those roads easily now. .75" height gain with the tires, right? So, 2.25" lift from the front 2.0s and 1.75" lift from the rear Icon springs? I bet those will eventually settle a little bit down closer to their advertised 2" & 1.5" lift. That blue Core4x4 stuff does look awesome, nice work all around.

Yes, overall, 3” in the front and 2” in the back. Nitto says the tires measure 34.7” tall. I’ll try to measure them tomorrow and verify. And yes, I think it will all settle down to the advertised height in a few weeks.

Looks really great, I'm curious how close the tire is to the upper control arms near the ball joint

Would the alignment numbers be off the next day after install and say a month later, after settlement?

Maybe...I’m not sure. I have to go back in two weeks to retorque stuff, and will ask.

I will check this weekend.

That’s the way it should look from the factory, sharp looking Ram!
