Default Lift & tires done!!

I finished my lift today. Here's what I did:

Front: Bilstein 5100 @ 2.5" setting
Rear: Wheelers AAL 1.5"
Revtek differential drop
BFG MT 255/85R16



I'm surprised at how it rides. It doesn't feel much different from stock. The rearend is a tad stiffer, but I think it helps the ride more than it hurts it. The tires add some noise, but not nearly as much as I expected. With the windows down on the freeway, I have to be listening specifically for them to notice.

The tires fit damn near perfect! There is a small amount of rubbing on the wheel well at full lock, but it's easy to avoid.

So far, I'm very very happy.

Looks good man! Those are some narrow tires, but I bet you wont have all the rub issues us with 285's have.

It's not, if anything it's about 1/2" higher. The driveway is at a slight slope, plus the perspective of the picture makes it look lower. I'll take some more pics tomorrow when I get a chance.

When you look at the wheelwell gaps it looks pretty level to me. I think it is just the picture as you say.

Looks good, get you some 1.5 or 2 inch wheel adapters to push those factory wheels out and clear up the rubbing issue. Will give it a wider stance and fill in those flares and look even better. Congrats, great looking truck.

That would probably create issues with them rubbing on other areas instead. I hate wheel spacers. I'm one of those weird people that like their tires inside the wheelwell. I bought these tires with function in mind, not looks. It's a huntin' truck, not a show truck!

Thanks for the comments.

Those tires are great, plenty of height to air down with and a very agressive tread pattern. GOOD choice

Check out Bushwacker. I replaced my factory flares on my '01 after a "brushing incident"...as my wife likes to call...with the car port.

I really liked the way they looked and got tons of compliments.
