I’m running 295/70/18 toyo at3 on 18x9 0mm offset which I believe is a 1/4” taller (34 1/4”) same width and I have a 2” level after I aligned no rubbing/scrubbing I think I could tuck 35s with minimal trim. But I also am a fan of the tucked look on these trucks

To each his own …. I’m not a fan of stuffed and tucked …. I like it to look a lil lifted, and the 10” -18’s will give it the stance I want …. Not my first rodeo, I built a 2012, and I have looked at enough pics to know I got it right …. Too much money spent to have regrets

A bit stiffer but still plenty comfortable
Quick question, just measured my rake trying to decide what setting I’m going to go with. Has anyone noticed a difference height in the front from passenger side to drivers side?
I’m measuring 35 3/4 drivers and 35 1/4 passenger side. Stock bighorn no air suspension.
thanks

How much fuel is in your tank? 1/2" isn't much considering the fuel tank and driver are on the driver's side.
Depending on the weight of the driver and size of the tank that's quite a weight swing from empty tank and no driver to filling up and getting in to drive.
If that 1/2" is bothering you I would have someone take those measurements when you are sitting in the truck with an empty (~1/4) tank and a full tank and see what the height change is.
My last truck (Ford) had a TSB for that but you had to be around 1 1/2" for the dealership to do anything about it. Even then all they did was put shims between the body and frame of the lower side to even out the body.

The front of my truck has always be equal, but the drivers side back is always less the the passenger side. My guess is because of the gas tank. Also, remember to be on level ground and try to always be in the same place when measuring. I always measure from the center hub to the fender. Also, the front fender is cut a 1/4" higher than the back.

Sounds normal. I'll be you'll be pretty close to "level" with a full tank and you in the driver's seat.
Good to know, thanks. I picked up some Toyo at 3’s in 275/60/20 and also front and rear ORG springs to go with the Bilstein’s. I may just use the front ORG springs on setting 4 and use a motofab 1.5” rear spacer instead of the ORG rear springs to get some more rake.
Anyone think there would be a big difference in ride quality between ORG front springs on setting 4 or non ORG springs on setting 6? Any thoughts if one would ride smoother? I have an appointment set up just can decide what I want to do.
Thanks for any opinions.

The non-ORP spring on 6 will net 2.2" of lift and the ORP spring on 4 is 1.5"+1"(from the ORP)=2.5" I am not sure if the spring rates are the same for each spring. In each case you are compressing the spring to one level below MAX. Now, what I do know is I did the ORP spring set on 4 + a 1/2" top hate spacer and the truck rides good to me. Is a little stiffer than stock, but it still rides very good. In either case it will ride stiffer.
