    My 3rd gen is completely stock with the exception of Bilstein 5100 shocks and struts. Do y'all have any recommendations to lift my truck another 2 inches or so to prevent rubbing when I install my 285 tires? I don't want to put the bilsteins to the highest lift setting because it seems unsafe. Any ideas help.

    you can put it to the highest setting no problem, you will only sacrifice the ride quality though (subjective).

    You can throw it on the top clip setting no problem, it'll stiffen up the ride quality quite a bit though. I do have a set of 3'' springs in stock here that you can slap on (bottom clip setting) and achieve the height you are looking for without over preloading the coil spring. Let me know if you have any questions!

    Remember depending the factory wheel offset 285s will rub the UCA if you’re keeping the OE wheels.
