Love the setup. I have same tire size but no lift. Did you replace the Uca with the lift?

A friend of mine and myself are going back and forth with the RC upper controller arm compared to the BDS uppers. They price out the same but Bds comets without the shocks.

I’m just interested in long term, instead of looks. We both do some mild off-roading in our trucks, so it has to be strong and last.

Why do these look bigger than a 275/65? I have my lift combo of Fox 2.0 front coils and Icon 1.5” rear springs stuck in transit. I haven’t ordered the tires yet and I keep going back and forth on a 285/65 or a 276/65 on the stock 20” rims. Big Horn with the night package.
You know, I honestly can’t say.. Maybe the angle. I guess my two cents if I would do it again id go with the 285/65. Reason being, I usually don’t love the stuffed look and these look pretty stuffed. Also, with 9 wide wheels the tread is sitting in the wheel well and I like a more aggressive stance. Like the tread even with the top of the fender flare. But over all I’m happy with he whole set up. No rub at all. May just add a spacer to get the stance where I want it.

I ended up getting too good of a deal to pass up on these. 275/65’s. My lift is on back order so I got a 2.5” motofab level to hold me over the 6 months while I wait. The rear springs showed up, but no front coils or rear shocks. 🤷🏻‍♂️

How are these tires, I'm eyeing them for my next set.

I just had them installed last Friday so I probably only have about 300 or so miles on them so far and I have no complaints. There's a bit of road noise, but it's not bad at all. Ride quality is a bit firmer, but it still rides really smooth. I haven't used them off-road yet other than going up and down our 1/4 mile driveway so I'm not going to be able to provide much feedback there.

I think for an all-terrain type tire they're a solid choice. I love the overall look of the tire.

Got the tires on last week. Happy so far. Had to take a break… debit card was starting to melt.

Hey guys been reading the threads for a while now and finally got to installing my setup on my 2019 bighorn! Installed the Bilstein 5100’s up front on circlip setting #6 (2.2in)and installed Motofab 1” spacers in the rear. Truck is non-orp. Planning on getting 295/60r20 tires on my factory 20” wheels. Measurements before and after the bilsteins we’re taken from ground to bottom of fender on front and back.
Before: Front- 36.25in Rear- 38.5in
After: Front- 38.5in Rear- 39.5in
Had some clunking that began after my drive home but was a quick fix when I went through and retorqued everything I had touched just to find out I left a few nuts a tad loose on the top of the strut and lower control arms! Overall I feel that the bilsteins have improved the ride quality over stock. Feels a little more solid of a ride but any pot holes or bumps in the road I roll over it eats them up much more smooth than the stock shocks did. I don’t get that feeling that I need to brace myself whenever I hit any bump in the road now.
Thanks @sdramsey24 @MarkB67 @neeginan for helping me out with answering questions about the setups!

How much of a overall lift did you get in the front? and where did you find the part?

2” ReadyLift Leveling Kit with UCAs and 285/65r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on stock 20x9s - no rubbing or trimming required, and have more room between tire and UCA now than I did with the 275/55r20s stock

Currently sitting at 39.5” from ground to highest point of front wheel well (up from 36”) and 40” in the rear

So long to the crappy Bridgestones that came on it - didn’t make it 21k miles! Yea

How do those ride on the road compared to the stock tires?
