Pics wanted : aftermarket wheels/tires on stock suspension

[Savagescott]

Hey All - I had my Limited order ready to submit and them was told I can’t get the etorque snd ORG together. Because I was only looking at ORG for the 1” lift, I’ve decided to choose etorque.

Now I’m rethinking wheels and tires and would love to see what yall have done on stock suspension - preferably airride- even with a level. Thanks in advance!

It’s not really a 1” lift that I learned. Instead of having 5 settings on the Air Ride you have 4. Entry exit, Aero, Normal, and Off Road 1. So the vehicle sits an inch higher then normal all the time but you only have an additional inch in lift from the air suspension settings compared to two inches on the trucks without the Off Road Group.

I chose to not get the Off Road Package for that reason because I’m getting Air suspension leveling links where you can level the truck and lifting the front suspension about 2” which is all I wanted. Hopefully that makes sense

I have them too. How much did you raise your front and how does it ride?

I didn’t keep track exactly but I got it about 1/4” lower than the back. I haven’t noticed a difference to be honest. That’s just me though.

I REALLY like the rims. They look different colors depending on the lighting. Sometimes black, bronze, and anything in between.

That was the largest tire with the lowest offset I could go without rubbing at all. I think it looks perfect. Tires are super quiet and look awesome. I still don’t feel Ride quality has had any noticeable change. If you have air and wanna level I would do it. It’s funny though. After putting on the revel links I measured it out and noticed all of it wasn’t perfectly the same so I put the OEM links back on and it’s the same thing. Here are my measurements below:

With REVEL on front end Rear Driver: 40.5”
OEM Rear driver: 40 3/8”
With REVEL on front end Rear Passenger: 40 5/16”
OEM Rear passenger: 40 1/8”
REVEL Front Driver: 39.5”
OEM Front Driver: 38 1/8”
REVEL Front Passenger: 39 15/16”
OEM Front passenger: 38 5/8”

I guess stock isn’t 100% even so I don’t think I have to worry about it a whole lot?

Weird how it sits 1/4” to 1/2” lower on the driver side. Mine stock does this as well.

Great looking truck. What mode did you have the air ride in the above pic? ( pic from the side)

All of them were in normal mode . Raised the front by about 1.75 inches with the Revel links

Getting ready to order my Limited and I want to do 34/35” tires, too. I’ve been strongly considering adding the off road pkg to get the 1” of additional height... but I really like the height of yours, especially if that’s normal mode- so maybe I don’t need the 1”.

I’ve heard many talk about how much harsher the truck rides with the links and I’m concerned - I don’t want to lose that nice ride.... So, how does the ride compare to stock? How do you think the grapps affect ride quality?
