Just installed the Motofab 2.5" front and 1" rear setup. I did just the front at first, but it left me with a touch of a sag... So I went with the rears to get a touch of rake back. It currently sits with 3/4" of rake and I love it. Completely changes the look and feel of the truck. I will be going with matte black fuel vapor 20x9 (+1) wheels and STT Pro 35/12.5 tires.

Looks so much better than stock.

Did you need to change your shocks with the 1" rear or are you able to run the factory shocks?

I'll be keeping them for winter or long trips
You ever get the tires?? Also, what did you use to tint the tails? I’ve been thinking about doing mine. I’ve got some unused Rvinyl but not sure if it’ll work.

I haven't gotten the tires yet, due to this whole "quarantined at home" thing... But I can't wait. I'll post it as soon as I do

How are your UCA and CV angles up front? Notice any reduction in ride quality?

I also tinted the white lenses in the mirrors. It rides GREAT. This lift doesn't compress the spring, so it has a stock spring rate. All angles seem fine, but on a lift at full droop, the uca touches the coil. It doesn't bother me at all, because it's never a situation I'm in while driving... I don't off-road.

I also put on the Magnaflow cat-back last week.... I really like the sound. It's Def louder than stock, but it doesn't have that obnoxious blat that I hate.

The truck is starting to come together.... I'll be happy with it once I do the wheels/tires and stereo (subs).

Thanks for the compliment on the truck, though

I want to go with the 2.5 lift but was told I couldn't fit 34.6 or anything bigger than 33s. Have you heard this from anyone else

I've seen lots of people running the 35x11.5 nittos... I know the STT Pros are narrow for their ratings, and I don't mind "massaging" the plastic in the wheel wells to get it to work. I loved the STT 35s I had on my 2017 20200130_163754.jpg

Ended up just putting the STT Pros on the stock wheels. They're 35x12.5s. They very lightly rubbed on the molded mud flaps, but it took about 10 minutes to trim them up.
