37s with only a level........oh, it's possible

I appreciate all the insight! I'm in Sacramento, California - I might have a friend with a WiTech to aide in the process, but lets see how that pans out. I'd surely take recommendations on the link length to double check my own measurements with that kit. Figured that would be the way to go as well. I truly just want to level the rake up a bit as in 'Normal' mode, the rake is a bit sharp to my eye is all. Eventually I want to try the set of 37's my BiL has from his prerunner to see if it's a ride/look I'd like to keep

man, this has got my interest.
would this be realistic to use offroad as it sits? no rock crawling but high speed trails and fields?

I've ran it through the fields at speed as she sits now in Normal mode with no issues. It tucks tire surprisingly well give the size of the tire.

If you want a nice level use the parts and make the links. It really changes the looks of the truck without jeopardizing the ride, a coil spring truck cannot say the same......

I have a buddy that works at a well known TV garage in the Dallas area that can likely help with the WiTech side of things if you decide to pull the trigger.

Poke is modest and perfect in my opinion. It is going to be a shame to put the wide body on it and have to start all over again figuring out the stance

I do plan on doing it for real. Can you DM me who I should reach out to.

Sounds exactly what I am doing. Can you make a seperate post just on the fender kits and the installation process? Quality as well?
Was gonna buy some tonight but I might as well see what you say first!

Will do, that is the mission for tomorrow. First thoughts.......they wont just bolt on. Light fab and fit work will be required. They will need to be finished and blocked before paint to look really nice. If you cant do body work or paint yourself expect an additional $1000+ for finish after the $1250 investment. I will say this however. They look MUCH nicer than any other fiberglass part i have bought before, we will see how they fit tomorrow.
+1 This stance is perfect IMHO

Can't wait to hear back. I am a good painter! That part is the least of my concerns

Do you know how tall your truck is with the level and the 37’s at normal ride height? I’m assuming the radio antenna (terribly located) is the highest point. Really want to go your route but I’m not sure if the big metal bar at 6’11” is going to allow it as I enter the parking garage.

That 41.5 and 41” before the tires was after the level at full air up height right?
My rebel is not on air but can get a pretty close height setup as she sits currently it is 38” in front, 40” in rear
I’m thinking of doing 1.5 spacer in back and do either 2.5” or 3” strut spacer along with Ready Lift UCAs rated up to 6” of lift which would put it at either 40.5” or 41” up front and about 41.5” at rear. However with all this I have heard of issues going over 2”in front and now I’m not sure it will be as easy as I though in the first place @DieselDak what height did your truck sit at in Normal mode before the tires

Going to get one 37x12.5r18 mounted on my 5th wheel to move around and test front/rear tuck & clearance.
Don’t really have the patience to pull my shocks. Thinking to just get the floor jack under the spindle/axel by the test wheel and go up.
Is this an incredibly dumb idea for a reason I haven’t thought of yet? Asking for a friend lol.
EDIT: Going to wait on this until after I resolve my steering issues with the dealer.

What is different about the Rebel vs a Limited with Air Ride?
Would I be able to do something similar on my 2019 Limited with Air Ride. I custom ordered it with the towing gears specifically to go with bigger tires and i'm still trying to figure out what I can do while still keeping it on the ground... I live in the Carolinas and a 10" lift and 35'sx12.5 with half the wheel hanging out the side of the truck is the most common thing around here and it looks hideous in my opinion. (or even worse they only lift the front)

The biggest difference is going to be your bumper. Limited hugs the tires more.
Do you have off-road 1 and 2? If so, you’ll have to lift it more with the links than a Rebel, and I’d assume your off-road 2 wouldn’t work.
Yes I have OR1&2
Ride height at OR2 is 41 in the rear and 38.5 in the front with the factory 20x9 wheels and 275/55R20’s
Would it be better to measure from the center of my hubs?
