Bilsteins - 1.75 or 2.5" - Yes I have searched.

The trimming that may have to be done, will it be of the mudflaps and/or the front of the wheel wells?

 

I run the same size tire ( 265 / 70 / 17 ) , no rub anywhere , no lift .

 

Nyet .

 

What are you saying? No trimming needed?

 

I have no lift , and run 265 / 70 / 17 MT's . These tires are the same size as 265 / 75 / 16 .

I have no fender rub , and no mudflap rub .

 

So what would 285/70/17 fit like. wider footprint, little lower sidewall then the 265/75. I just got rear tsb done and 5100's should be here in days. I think i will have no issues. Anyone?

 

My buddy has that same tire size on stock suspension w/ mud flaps and has zero rubbing. You'll be fine dude..

 

Had the TSB done to mine about a year ago. After much reading and talking with the folks where billies were purchased, I went with 1.75. At first it looked fine and level. Then the TSB began to settle and if there was any incline the truck began to look nose high. The final kicker was hauling any kind of a load or pulling a trailer. This past deer season hauling just camping gear and a trailer with two four wheelers the truck was embarrassingly nose high. I have since adjusted to .85 and all is right in the world again.

The problem is being out an additional $150.00 to have the billies removed, compressed, and reinstalled, and another $79.00 for the alignment.

The TSB will settle. If you haul any kind of a load and do not want to shoot for the moon, trust that you will be dollars ahead to go with .85.

 

I have my 5100's set at 1.75 and no tsb and my truck is level.

 

Thanks for all the help guys. I can't wait to get them put on. I have to wait until the 12th to get the shocks on and then I am having the dealer mount and blaance the tires and do the alignment. The alignment is free because of the tsb. They did not do it yet and the service tech said he would do it for me after my shocks were put on. The reason that I am having the dealer do the tires is so that if the mark them up in any way, they can be responsible for ordering the replacements.

 

Where did you get your Billies? Everywhere Ive looked is outta stock?

 

Heres mine before my TSB with the fronts at 1.75

 

The wife wont let me near her camera, but I will get some pic's this weekend if I can tie her down long enough to have her do it. (Gadget) challenged.

 

no tsb and bilsteins set at 1.75 pics in profile if u wanna see..hope this helps

 

Damn- do you have pictures of the 3 1/4 inches, that seems pretty high

BTW, I recently installed 265/75/16 Revo 2's with the Billies set at 1.75" and no rub at all.

These pics are after the TSB and the Billies set at 1.75- factory tires:

 

It was just a tad when they first went on which is when that pic was taken but they settled to level and now that I have the TSB done it has rake again.
