FWIW, I'm shopping for a set of TRX takeoffs. Those are 18" wheels. I plan to run those but I will need to add wheel spacers. I'll save the offset discussion for another thread.

I got the 2” struts how bad is the alignment after? I may not be able to get it aligned for a few days

Looks great!! Why did you also use the Bilsteins in the front and the rear? Looks pretty level from the photo, do you have measurements? I'm looking to do a 3.5" but achieve level look on my 22 Rebel
I used Bilsteins up front as they are tuned to have the preload from the added lift as opposed to the stock struts. Rear's are just more capable than stock as well

I see you got a Built to Serve edition as mine. Did you do the RC 3.5 with loaded struts or spacers? I'm deciding if I go with 2' RC loaded struts or go full 3.5 RC
Not built to serve Edition just plasidiped the chrome and badges. Used the 3.5 loaded struts and shocks in back kit. Had to buy a different and bigger Spacer for the back because of my airbag fill airline goes out through the top of spring and the 1" spring Spacer that comes with kit was lower in back than front also the Spacer went on top of the spring so I couldn't run airline through it for Airbags. Bought a new 1.5 Spacer that goes under the spring now and works great. Had to also get .25 wheel Spacer because at high speed cornering my tire would rub my uca. Installing that tomorrow just got done Installing dashcam for today's deed.

Awesome!! it looks like mine lol. I traded my 21 for a 2022 BTS last Sunday. Got new 275/60 r20 Nitto Ridge grapplers with 1.5 wheel spacers to get a nice stance. Lift is next! Thank you for your answer and good luck with yours

So you traded your 21 in for a 22, I hope you got one hell of a good deal

any rubbing??
Plastic mud guards behind the front wheels need to be removed and the mud guard mounting tabs will need to be bent up behind the wheel liner. I only have minor rubbing when in reverse and at full lock. I'm sure it could be eliminated with a little work on the front wheel liners, but it is so minor that I haven't really cared to address it.
