Truck looks great. Did those tires fit without the lift? Or did you do the tires and lift at the same time? I’m looking to see upgraded tires on stock height and stock Bighorn 20’s. There’s just too many threads to look through.

Looks really good, I debated back and forth between the 276 60 20 and 285 60 20 but ultimately want the lighter weight of the P rated tired. It would be nice if someone made a 285 60 20 in p rated. Hows the ride and MPG with the LT's?

I did both at the same time, but i am 95% sure a 285/60/20 would fit without the lift. Ultimately I bit the bullet and did the lift. I am glad i did it is a great clean look and did not sacrifice any driveability.

I did as well, but read an article on this site about the mopar 2” lift with the LT285 not changing the way it drives much at all. I have only driven about 50 miles on it, but the mpg loss has not been too much maybe 1-2mpg. The fox shocks on the Mopar lift are excellent and other than a slight increase in road noise, and i mean slight, it drives as good maybe better than stock.

How much did the dealer charge for the 2 inch lift? Do you know if it affects the tow/payload ratings?

bws326 this is exactly the look I am going for. I just bought mine 3 weeks ago and looking to do a few things to mine. Leveling Kit, Tires and possibly rims and some side steps ( still trying to decide if I want power steps or go with some black fixed ones.

It was around $1250 for the kit and $450 for install of lift kit, alignment, mount, and balance of new tries

How are you liking the tires so far? Thinking about getting the same ones/same size for mine. Do they handle well and how noisy are they?

These tires are amazing. They are ultra quiet, balanced perfect, very smooth, and really handle well on back roads. I can't say enough good things about them. One thing I really noticed is the factory tires tended to let loose in 2wd a lot in the rain. These feel planted at all times and rarely if ever spin off the line in wet conditions.

Did you keep the 2inch spacer in the rear? I am trying to eliminate the rake from front to back

This is PERFECT!!! I have a 19 bighorn midnight I want to do the 2 inch lift to and I was wondering how 275/60/20s ( 33s) would look. Best thing is, I have 275 55 20 Toyo AT2 tires on there right now and the 33s I want are lighter. Cooper AT3 4S.
