    what size tire did you decide to go with? I have the exact same setup, and am torn between a 265/75/17 vs. 285/70/17. It's a pavement princess, but I still don't want any rubbing, and I want to keep the mudflaps.

    I can’t decide either. I’m leaning towards 285 70 16. Trying to make up my mind. Not a lot of examples in this size.

    I read that while researching.

    I was slightly nose high with just leveling kit. I wanted the rear block to keep the rake and approach/departure angles. I talked with low range Offroad to confirm. With block I’m an inch higher at the rear.

    I went with 265/75-16s (C load which is well inline with truck weight) with lightweight SCS F5s. Truck seems light on its feet. I’m still on-road (thus the spacer lift) so I don’t need the fat tire setup yet. 285s look great however!

    Sure they look great in a parking lot, but accelerating, towing or any load in the back (you know, using a truck for its intended purpose) and you’re nose high.

    I just never understood it, but to each their own.

    Nice stance bro, stock size tire? Or did you go up to 70's? Ride quality with the stock sport springs? Looking to do the same. Thanks

    Honestly my wife or myself could not tell a difference from the stock ride.
    My last truck had a 6 inch lift and I drove it that way for 10 years. I wanted to keep this new truck as close to the factory ride as possible, while giving it a little bit of an aggressive stance. I kinda wish I had done the Nitro 3"/ 1" lift for just a little bit more...

    I’m curious, I’ve noticed people say they’ve done a 3/1 yet don’t talk about their ucas. Are people not tossing aftermarket ucas on with spacer kits?

    I think I read anything 3” and over should have UCAs in order to keep within alignment specs.
