Fwiw, the single thing that affected the ride was not the lift or the ORP springs, it was the tires. I had the lift with the ORP for a couple of days before wheels and tires. Not necessarily a bad thing but tires made the ride a bit more stuff, and 'bouncy' but I let the psi down to 34/35 instead of the 40 from the tire place and it is now not noticeable to me, with exception the gas mileage.

Does your truck have any rake now? Any chance you can post the measurements from center of hub to bottom of wheel well?

I’m considering adding the ORP springs but don’t want to eliminate all the rake as I often haul about 500lbs of tools in the bed + I have a shell/topper.

Are you running both the spacers with the ORP springs?

I think you made the right call. I’m running 285/65/20 on stock Laramie wheels with level and thinking of going with aftermarket wheels but afraid I’ll be running in to offset/rubbing issues.

Do you rub at all right now? I’m stock suspension and my 275/60R20 Duratracs rub the inner splash guard near the strut tower if I’m full lock in reverse. Typically it’s only when the truck is flexing a bit like backing into the driveway but I’m going to be putting a 1.5” level on and was also considering the 285/65R20 on my stock wheel.

It has about an inch of rake, measured as "My from hub center to fender looks like 24 1/4 and the rear at 25 1/2." I would give or take 1/4" as I was not perfect in measuring. I have full bed rug and hard tri fold outback.

Both spacers with the ORP springs.

Awesome, Thanks... given that info I think I’m ready to pull the trigger on the ORP springs.

Your truck looks great BTW.

I don’t have any rubbing issues.

Im scheduled to have that exact set up installed on Thursday. I had a heck of a time locating ORP springs. I placed two orders online and was told they didn’t have them in stock. I would recommend calling to check inventory prior to order the parts. Apparently there is a shortage on ORP springs.

i just ordered a set on eBay for 90 bucks delivered yesterday from Dallas CJDR - no issues here. Usually EBay orders have to be in stock.

Stock suspension no off-road package or north edition. 4x4 with stock 20x9 wheels and 275/60R20 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac. Going to be adding a 1.5” or 2” level soon and probably bigger tires after that. Only rubbing is at full lock in reverse on the inner splash guard (see picture).

Just got finished with a level and new tires. 2.5" front 2.0" rear moto fab level. 35" Ironman tires on my stock 22's. Extremely minor rub in reverse at full lock in one direction. Very easy to trim if I decide to. Could not be happier with the setup. Thanks to all on this forum for your experiences and advice. View attachment 33114
