I appreciate that! I look back at the truck every time I have to walk away from it.

Nice!
That looks ****! And **** are good! Great actually.
While I'm not exactly leveled, I'm close enough for now (I've been planning on a full Fox PE 2.5 setup in the future).
For anyone that remembers, I ordered a 2023 Laramie G/T in 5/2023, it was delivered 7/14/23, and was totalled 7/21/23.
Their insurance paid me the full purchase price for my G/T on 7/27/23 and I ordered a 2024 Laramie G/T on 7/28/23.
I had ordered Eibach Pro-Truck struts/shocks for the 2023 while it was being built..and now, a year later, I finally put them on the 2024, so I installed the Eibachs yesterday..the other minor suspension mods were already done prior.
What an AMAZING difference!
My setup now:
Eibach Pro-Truck struts in Front set on the bottom "0" clip, but with the 1" lift ORP/ORG (-0250AC) springs replacing my OEM (-0237AB) springs. These springs measure exactly 1" longer unsprung, and gave exactly 1" lift installed with the Eibach struts. I also have Energy Suspension Poly-E 36mm bushings on the OEM swaybar.
Eibach Pro-Truck shocks in the Rear. The rear springs are OEM, but the RR spring has one full coil cut off to closer balance the truck side to side. (factory was 5/8" lean to the left, now it's a 1/4"). I have Airlift bags in the coils set at 5psi. I also have a Progress Technologies 25mm rear swaybar set on the tightest setting.
I am absolutely floored at how the Eibachs completely eliminated the side to side "float", the brake dive, and the huge cornering lean that was annoying with the OEM struts!
I had been disappointed with how my prior swaybar changes hadn't tightened up the cornering sway very much. Now, the big, heavy, tank corners tight like a sport sedan with very little sway at all..it's fan-frickin-tastic!!
The ride quality is still super silky smooth just at it was OEM, but now the G/T can be cornered with reckless abandon! To me, this Laramie is more comfortable and better handling than any OEM trucks, and most sedans now.
My Front was at 37.0" and now is at 38.0".
My Rear was at 38.625" and still is at 38.625".
So, I went from 1.625" rake to 0.625" rake..which looks way better, but handles incredibly!
These measurements are with a full tank of gas..when empty, the truck lifts almost a 1/4".
Now, I'm giving a rethink to the Fox PEs and may just go ahead and order up some Fuel Variant 20x9 (+1) wheels and the new 295/60-20 Bridgestone Deuler AT Ascents and call it a day! (Haaa)

2020 Bighorn 4wd quad-cab. I went with the Eibach pro-truck lift and I believe it was the 2.0 if I’m not mistaken. Coils, rear shocks, adjustable struts and whatnot. I originally wanted something in the neighborhood of 33’s and a hair tougher than stock, but you know how that goes lol.
I’m not a fan of dozing with the brosephs, so the 18” wheel choices are rather limited as you all have become well aware. The space between the caliper and the inside of an 18” wheel is rather nonexistent. And the factory wheel being a positive 19mm leaves nary a fingertip between even the baloney-skin 275’s and the upper ball joint.
I realize there’s probably a whole slew of wheels out there that do fit, but if you’re not into faux bead-locks, or you want a smooth lip, it really does narrow the pool by a lot. We’re kind of limited by offsets as well when it comes to just a simple off-road design. It seems like you either get a +18, a +0, -12, or from there it goes into rock chipping territory.
After a ton of cruising the internet and finally perusing WheelPros website, I finally found a plane-jane wheel in a zero-offset that fit the bill. I decided to wrap them in 285/75/18 BFG KO3 rubber. I wanted a noticeably taller tire than stock, but not cartoonishly wide. As it turns out, I got not noticeably wider, but cartoonishly tall lol. Kidding. Maybe a little. But I’m happy with the results for now and I did not have to trim a darn thing. I may grab the spanner wrench and give the front struts another turn or two after the suspension settles. But here she is. And thanks again for allowing me to fly under the radar and creep the forum lol.
