Hi all - first post and wanted to share my current set up on new 1500 Laramie.
I wanted to go for an 'executive rebel' look that had the creature comforts and executive feel of the Laramie with some of the attitude of a rebel/raptor.

First I tried Nitto Terra Grapplers in 275/60/20 on stock Laramie 20's but I didn't like the look so I sold those and went with Fuel Vector 18x9 +01mm in anthracite with BFG KO2 275/70/18.

2" readylift leveling kit being installed tomorrow and that will be the extent of my modifications.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I like the 'executive Rebel' look -- I was going more for mid-level management Rebel with mine :) Your truck looks awesome. Is that pic with the lift or before? I am considering the 2" readylift.

haha...

the photo is without the leveling kit.

I had the 2" level installed, which the shop told me they had ordered and would install, and ended up installing a cheap chinese knock off spacer/top hat (don't get me started) without my consent or knowledge. Now having done more research, I am probably going to swap the cheap chinese welded spacer with the MotoFab spacer and call it a day. The preload spacers affect ride too much and the KO2s have stiffened things up enough that I don't want to sacrifice anymore ride comfort.

They are making it right but it has become a major pain in the ***.

Man that sucks. I hate shops sometimes. Good luck and post the finish pics!

Here are the 2” leveling kit pics. From ground to top of wheel well is 0.5” lower in the front. Still a great look in my opinion.
the spacers do compromise ride quality and the lower the speed the more small bumps seem to be felt. Highway speed was great.

Looks awesome, love the wheel color with the truck color. They look a bit better in my opinion just a tad lower in the front, not factory rake, but just a slight bit. Well done.
