Just had my 2” Bilstein kit installed. It only got me about 1.25" on the top notch. Running 295/70R18 Bridgestone Revo 3’s on stock wheels. No rubbing, no cutting/trimming. I also have a full size spare in the same size. It fits in the hole.

Updated with comments / info:

Greatly improved [with Bilstein 6112 kit]. It doesn’t feel like you’re on a boat anymore, lol. When cornering the body roll is almost nonexistent now and the front feels a lot more stable. I’m contemplating changing out the rears now due to it being very bouncy.

The Bilstein 6112 front kit was $659. The install, front end alignment and 5 tires were $1,900. It wasn’t cheap but the tires alone were $290 each.

Did you install the tires before the lift? If so any rub/issue with fitment?

Truck looks good - I like the 18"sport wheels

This is probably the most perfect set up I've seen so far! Well done, how much did it run you?

Thank you.
I did not put the tires on first. I think it would be a tight fit without the lift.

I got them from Autoanything.com They were the only ones that had them in stock at the time. Here’s the information on them.

Are you running the stock shocks in the rear or Bilstein's ?

Very very nice. I love that you kept the stock 18” Sport wheels. These look great on this build!

Would you say it's a rougher ride at all or just as smooth?

No fitting issues? I see it says it won't work with the 2021.
