Update / cross post on my recent updates..

I just had the dealer put a Bilstein 6112 (front) and 5160 (rear) kit on my 2021 Powerboost shortbed, with 34 inch Maxxis Razr AT tires (LT285/65r20 ..maxxis reports them as 34.7 x 11.6 in tire).

Stock sport wheels; the front struts are set to the 2.5 inch setting:

..kit was from @Stage3Motorsports
Tires were from tires-easy.com

UPDATE: Slight rub was due to incorrectly installed wheel well liner on the passenger side; no rub after fixing it

Do you have any rubbing? I’ve thought about doing just the Bilsteins instead of the IVD suspension kit I was looking at ($2k)

none so far. It looks like there is plenty of room, but I have only driven it home from the dealer yesterday, and then to work this am. I did hit a few speed bumps and it is more composed than stock. I will be driving it from Oregon, up to Canmore, AB, Canada this weekend, and hope to test it a bit more over the 10 days I am there. I don't expect it will be as composted in the rough stuff as the Multimatic DSSV's in my previous ZR2 colorado, but this truck is also much bigger / heavier

I think this in my RR Long box in Chip purgatory getting it’s missing Chips last week, as it’s now shipped - hopefully if the ETA is correct I should get it in the next week or two!!

Your truck looks nice and hope you get it soon! You might check for rust before you sign. I had the dealer put mine on a lift and we looked it over. Not much rust after chip sitting in KC only three weeks but I negotiated a free Line-X platinum spray in bed liner if I paid for undercoating and rust proofing.

UPDATE: I do get a slight rub at hard full lock turns in reverse; the rub is on the very edge of the valence, and is minimal. I was considering removing and trimming it anyway. Still not sure if i will

from this post on the Chip hold posts - if you zoom in you can see it, 😂

I found our trucks!! LOL

People are sighting new stockpiles off I-96 west of Detroit and calling the Free Press, which took photos and drone shots Thursday to document the issue.

The rubbing got significantly worse after hitting an 8 in deep pothole at low speed moving forward... sounded like I was dragging something under the vehicle. When I got out I found that it wasn't the bumper valance rubbing, but instead, it was the wheel well liner. The liner was re-installed improperly with the strut upgrade and was pushed out by a hose at the rear of the wheel well.

Fixing the wheel well liner solved all of my rubbing issues.. I did lots of rough road driving over the weekend and no more rubbing! The liner just had to be installed behind the silver wrapped hose on the right of the image and another inch or two of clearance was gained:

Did you happen to pick this beauty up at Grove City Ford? I had been watching one online just like this one they had for $3500 off MSRP for the last month or so?
