Finally got my truck finished up a few days ago. Went from the Bilstein 5100s with factory 22" wheels and 305/45/22 tires to the RC 3.5" M1 lift kit with aftermarket wheels and 35x12.5 Ridge Graps. What a difference! I feel like it's the perfect stance for a pavement queen.
Specs -
Lift - 3.5" RC M1 lift with 2" rear coil spring spacer (don't do the supplied 1" spacer, your truck won't sit level still and be nose high. Ask me how I know)
Wheels - 20x9 GFX wheels with a 0 offset.
Tires - Nitto Ridge Graps 35x12.5.x20
I had very minimal rub on my RC mudflap in the front and the factory little mudflap. I did also trim a small section off the bottom of the wheel liner in the front, then zip tied back the inner corner. I have zero rub no in any direction, forward or reverse. I also changed my tire size with Alfa so my speedometer and shift points are accurate. Let me know what yall think!
I also will add, when doing the lift, I discovered my passenger side tie rod outer end, the ball joint boot was split. Before doing the lift and getting the new wheels/tires, I was battling a pull to the right even with my shop confirming my alignment was in spec. I have no idea if that had anything to do with it, but my pull is now gone. I of course did get another alignment once all this was done, but whatever it was, is gone now. I also was still battling the famous "clunk" even after changing out multiple parts. It wasn't consistent, but it was still there. After installing this kit, I can not get the clunk to reproduce and going over the same speed bumps that would once cause my clunk, is now smooth. So, I also don't know if my Bilsteins and stock UCAs were the culprit of the clunk sound, but that issue seems to have been resolved now too.
