2022 Sport, just got it last week. Very happy with the Granite crystal colour.

Do you have a close of under cab where the gap is closed up? Near the rocker? And maybe from the mounting side too?

I have Westin R7 and just picked a set of these up today for 600cdn (460usd) as I really liked them on a coworkers 2022 Rebel. I like the design and the fact the match the bumper steps.

Because my Westin R7 steps had a gap between cab and step I installed running board lights that are stuck on the rocker panel infront of the pinch weld. I want to see if these steps will block my lights or not. I'll fund out later when install but I'm curious to get an idea. Weather is bad right now so not sure when I will install them, have to wait for a warmer winter day without snow

If they do block my running board lights then I he other ideas in mind to fix that. But again weather will need to be warmer before I get into that.

New to me, 2019 Big Horn North Edition. Added a Truxedo low profile tonneau cover and that's it so far. It has 20% tint too. I think I may eventually do a 2" level to keep a slight rake and probably 275/60r20 tires to go a little bigger, but not wreck the mileage.

As long as you don’t get an LT tire, you won’t take much if any mpg hit with 275/60’s.

I was looking at the Falken Wildpeak AT3W, since I ran them on my last truck and loved them. The LT 275/60r20 is available in load range D which is still heavy, but not as heavy as E range. The LT version of that tire also has like 5/32" deeper tread.

The Wildpeak AT3W-A that came with the North Edition have been great in the snow and rain, but when I do get something else I would like something a little more aggressive.

That size tire has an LT and an SL version. The LT tire is 58 lbs and the SL is 47 lbs.

Yeah I saw that, although the SL version in that size has 13/32" tread depth. The LT version has 18/32". That's a pretty substantial difference I may opt for the longer life of the LT version.

I wish there were more non LT options, a non LT 285/60R20 would be great

I was faced with a similar choice when I bought my Ridge Grapplers. IMO, 5/32" of extra tread depth is not worth the mpg hit from a tire that's 11lbs heavier. Your ride quality will deteriorate too.

Yeah that's something to think about. I wish they made SL tires in 285/60 or 295/60. I'll be keeping the wheels that are on it. From what I see those ridge grapplers in that size are 60lbs each. How does that effect your mileage? I have the 3.21 rear end which is another reason I don't want to go crazy.

My Grapplers are 51lbs each. My aftermarket wheel/tire combo is about 3-4lbs heavier than the stock wheel/tire setup. I didn't drive my truck with the stock setup, but I'm getting about 17.5 mpg with an 80/20 city/highway mix. I'm probably taking no more than a 1 mpg hit with this setup.

The previous time I bought Ridge Grapplers, I made the mistake of getting LT's. My mileage dropped by 2-3 mpg and the ride was noticeably firmer. They were also the same size as the OEM tires.

Yes, I stopped on my way home from dealership. It was about a 2 hr trip for me one way to pick it up. I just had to stop, I was right there.

Awesome! That looks like one I saw at a local dealership here, they usually have a couple sitting out.
