Installed the Readylift 3.5" kit and 35 X 11.5 X 20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers.
Gained about 5" of lift in the front between lift and tires and 3.5" in the rear. Sits level now.
Kept the stock rims for now. Nothing aftermarket really caught my eye.
No rubbing with the 11.5" width. Ride is great. A little stiffer than stock due to the tires, but still very smooth and refined. Tires are also very quiet for such an aggressive tread pattern. Played with badging and dipped steps black. Did that on my last truck and it held up for almost 3 years with no touch up. Original look is also included for reference.

Love it man. I too run the Ridge Grapplers and I’m impressed with the lack of road noise too!

Just took a 200 mile road trip today and the tires continue to impress with their lack of noise. We'll see how they are after 15-20,000 miles, but for now they are all I could ask for.

Looks amazing! Could you measure from the ground to the highest point on the fender front and rear please?

Sorry for the delay, I had missed your question for some reason. Measurements are as follows:

Before lift and tires-LF 36", RF 36 1/2", LR 38", RR 38. 1/2"
After lift and tires- LF 41 1/4", RF 41 1/2", LR 41 1/2", RR 42"

Tires went from stock 32s to 35s.

About 5" of lift in the front and 3 1/2 in the rear.

Hope this helps.

I have a similar setup, i wish there was a little more rake though, what mpg are you getting?

Truck looks great! And these measurements are helpful for sure. Assuming you can still fit in the garage?

Yes, I can still fit it in my garage fairly easily. Certain parking garages, like at the airport can present some challenges as it seems like 1-2" of excess clearance based on the signs at the garage entrance. Others seem to have plenty of clearance.

On the MPG's I'm going off the computer that is generally showing me about 16-17 and I'm assuming it is about 10% off as it has not been recalibrated for the larger tire size which gets me to about 18-19 so it is unscientific and I could be off some. Honestly, I'm not concerned about it as it is not an economy vehicle, but I do like to conserve $ whenever possible.

No issues on ABS engagement for me. Not sure what might be causing that.

Gah - you guys are going to have me upgrade from my (planned) ready lift 2” level to the 3.5”…. My wife is going to be VERY sad I found this place haha. What’s started as “I need new tires to replace the crap Bridgestones it came with” has quickly morphed into lift, tires, running boards….. and on….😂😂😂
