    It rides great! better than stock for sure, the only complain is the "slam down" on speed bumps.

    Here's a look (again) at 265/75/16's with a 885X's, 5100's, 1/2" plate spacer on left side only. That gives a 2-5/8" lift. Pics are a little dark around the wheels, but I don't think they look too small.

    Get some 255's!! Cooper St Maxx in a 255 won't require you to do the CMC and minimal trimming if any. There's a great thread on here highlighting that tire size

    Got pretty much the same setup. Bilsteins 5100s all around/OME 885 coils in front/Wheeler's Progressive AAL in the rear. Love the ride and look!

    I'm looking to get this exact lift in the near future. One thing I'm having trouble deciding on is the Wheeler's Progressive AAL vs. the Deaver Single AAL offered by Headstrong Offorad. Does anyone have experience with both in terms of lift differences and capabilities? I hardly ever tow but occasionally have to move equipment and other heavy loads in the bed.

    I think 265's look perfect with this setup, just the right size, not too small and not too big. A lot of us have 265's I believe and are happy with them. But of course I am going to go bigger once my tires wear out :thumbsup:

    I've been all through that thread and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with 255's next. I just love the taller tire. Only thing I'm worried about is a reduction in power with my 2.7L. I've seen some guys talk about re-gearing. Do you think it's really that noticeable? Would it be worth it to get that size or will I regret it with my 2.7L.
    Truck looks great man! Love the all black. I wanted black but they didn't have it on the lot and my truck was kind of an impulse buy at the time. Best impulse I ever had though!
    Looks awesome man! Thanks for stopping by and sharing your experience! What kind of wheels and tires are you planning on getting?

    Thanks OP and everyone on this site for helping me choose the lift. I'm leaning towards the TRD pro's in gray. The tires I like are the 265/70/17 K02s. Can't wait. Thanks for the kind words.
