    Can anyone help me figure out my lift situation?

    I'm going for something like the truck in this video (between 6:09 - 7:20):

    https://youtu.be/Zh1nK57nckA?t=374

    I'm looking to fit 285/70/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W on 17x9 Fuel Shok wheels, +1 offset.

    I've got about 475lbs in the bed between the Decked system, bed rack, and hard shell tent.

    I have a kit on order from Wheeler's - the All-Pro Bilstein 5100/6112 kit w/ Expedition leaf springs, and Timbren bump stops. But that's been on order for a month now and they still have no idea when it'll ship.

    Should I stick with that kit and wait? Are there better options for the money? (about $2.8k)

    Seems to be a 3/2 leveling. Might need to do some trimming or remove the front mud flaps if you want to run that tire and wheel combo. Or you might get lucky and only rub on full lock with removing the front flaps.

    You can do this one of two ways whole front and back strut swap with new springs and add a leaf in the back or spacers (which are not really recommended here)

    I put Fox 2.5 remote reservoirs front and rear with Icon AALs for not much more than that. The AAL works great for me, but I'm carrying less weight in the bed.. maybe 225-250 lbs. If you do any kind of wheeling you'll most likely need to do a CMC with that size tire. It's also very likely you'll need new upper control arms to get your alignment dialed in.

    Great kit OP. DEFINITELY plan on UCA’s. I know we all try to avoid the inevitable but they are a must IMO for better alignment , handling , less stress on components as well. ECG’s planned as well? Might as well plan for it. Good luck.

    Thanks all - I feel more confident in the kit now. I'm still learning. :notsure:

    UCAs are part of the package I ordered. I should have included that image in the original post.

    Off to see what the heck ECGs are...

    I've been waiting on fulfillment of the kit since March 29. It keeps getting pushed back due to Bilstein availability. I'm told now they're anticipating August delivery.

    Can anyone recommend a comparable kit that I can actually get?

    I think everything is on back order bro. Try to hold out. I know it’s frustrating as hell. Good luck
