Hey guys.. picked up my truck at the end of October and ordered my Bilsteins right around then. They finally came last week, and I got my truck to the shop to have everything installed yesterday. Super happy with how it came out, thanks to everyone on this site and hours of me researching to figure out the perfect set up for me.

2022 Laramie night edition/6'4 bed/ORP/3.92/etorque
-Bilstein 5100 front and rear, front at setting #5
-zone ucas
-motofab 1" coil spacer in the rear
-bora wheel spacers 1" front, 1.25" rear
-Toyo open country AT3 35x11.5

Ended up gaining 2" in the front and 1" rear. Since I've got the ORP, this ends up at just about 3" total lift front and 2" total rear. I have about 3/4-1" of rake still. The one side shot of the truck looks like it's squatting, I had my old tires and some tools in the bed so it was sitting a little low. For anyone who's wondering, the Bora 1.25" and 1" fit great with the stock 20s with no stud trimming needed. The only tire rub I've got is some minor rub in reverse at full lock, nothing a little heat and massaging the wheel wells won't fix.

Looks great! Can you post a couple pics looking straight down the side of the truck from the front and rear? I'm considering a similar setup with the spacers and night edition wheels but I don't have the factory fender flares so trying to gauge how much poke I'd have or if it would still be pretty close to flush with the fenders.

I can get some pics for you when I get home. I can say that my tires are almost perfectly flush with the flares right now, if I went 12.5 wide tires they would stick out a little bit. I would say if you did the same set up I have right now but without flares you'll probably poke out 1/2"-3/4"

Sorry it took me a couple days, here you go

Looks great! Does your truck have Adaptive Cruise Control, Parksense, Crosspath Detection, Forward Collision Warning, etc.? Any issues with any of these with the larger tires?

I don't have adaptive cruise, but all the other systems seem to be working fine. I thought I read issues if you try re-calibrate the tire size over 35".. mine is set at 34.something with the tazer DT and my speedo is dead on with GPS speed
