Just got a Motofab 2.5 and Falken Wildpeak AT3/W 285/65/20 on in the -4 degree snow this weekend hence the unclean truck. Will get washed with better pictures this week. Still have to let the front settle a little bit, gained more than 2.5 on the front right after installation. Also sitting on a slope to the rear doesn't help View attachment 14231 View attachment 14232
Good Looking set up with the tire size, I was thinking the same exact size and tires too. How do they ride? much louder than stock? any rubbing issues at all when you crank the wheel? Thanks and congrats.

They ride great! My dad has the BFG KO2s and these are much more quiet than those. I don't even notice tire sound with these inside the cab, would definitely put them closer to stock sound than any other tire I have had on my any of my trucks or jeeps. As far as rubbing goes, I have had it cranked and turning both directions and no rubbing that I have felt or heard. Would highly recommend the tire to anyone. Also, they are much cheaper than other big name ATs :)

Yeah that extra half inch is looking good now. Truck is starting to settle in the front and looks pretty even. I had a 2 5/8 inches rake from factory so this should make it pretty much perfect until someone comes out with a true 4 inch system, if that ever happens :confused:

It will happen. Fabtech had one they posted on instagram a while back with their dirt logic coilovers. Haven't heard anything else about it though. BDS has said they have a 4" and 6" in the works. Give it time and other companies will as well.

BDS said the 4in should be out within 2 months

Nice. I'm still undecided between 4" or 6" because I'm unsure about running 35s with my 3.21s. Want to see for myself before I commit. May go 4" and 295/60s. It will probably be another year or so before I lift it though. Got it leveled for now and too many other mods planned.

I run a 275/65 tire on stock 20’s for winter. I have a 3 1/2” lift but these tires should work with a minimal lift. Seems to be the tallest, most narrow tire for the money. There are others that are slightly taller with the same width but are much more expensive. All my truck info in my signature, sorry, I have no experience with chains!
Thanks for the info. The 275/65's seem about the right height.

I've been a silent observer over the past few months but learned a lot from the group. Thanks to everybody for the comments and experience that I have been soaking up to build the perfect truck for me. I spent a lot of time going back and forth on a lot of the lift/level/wheels/tires options but couldn't be happier with the outcome. Check out the pictures and my signature for all the details on my truck. After going through the whole process I have a bit of experience under my belt now and would be happy to lend my experience to anybody with questions. Thanks everybody!

Like the look!

Couple questions if you don't mind: Did you replace the off-road group package 1" lift with the 2.5" front spacers or add to it (giving you a 3.5" lift)? How much space do you have around the wheel well? What do the CV axle and tie rod angles look like? Any potential issues?

Im currently running 305/ 55/ R20 ridge grapplers on My LH and they Don't produce any road noise what-so-ever.
What wheels and offset are those and did you do anything to suspension? It looks really good

Great looking truck and nearly identical to what I want to do with my Rebel! Any rubbing under any circumstances? Any trimming needed?

Thanks!

Trimming yes. Had to trim small metal tab that supports stick front mudflap. And modify mudflap with with heat gun. Very easy. Rubbing only in reverse at full turn. Been to cold here in jersey to get out there and mess with it. Nothing a heat gun can’t fix.
