    That's the issue though those RCD 5100's are for 3-4in so there's a gap if your at 2in. Not a big deal though, just have to flex the rear and measure to get the specs you need then order. The truck looks great though, well done on your choices they go together well.

    It definitely doesn't roll around turns or dip while braking. It really connects you to the road, nice and firm but not rough. I also switched to the Load E BFGs at the same time, rather than a 245 passenger tire... lol overall i have ZERO regrets and definitely would have regretted going with 265s.

    Those rear shocks should be fine as long as you don't go bajaing through the mall. Better to let them limit droop if at all on the street than stretch your brake lines.

    @ensaladas Do you have any rubbing with the 285's? Did you have to do any trimming?

    We trimmed the inside rear corners of the flares. He just got an alignment today and will find out soon if there is any rubbing.

    Took a couple pics after my alignment yesterday. 4wp did a pretty good job (they only did the alignment), and moved the wheels forward off the cab mount a little too.
