    Do you all think I should add anything else? I wish I would have went with a 285. Do you think I could fit it?

    Looks clean man! White was my other option in color but went with silver instead. You can fit 285's but will need to do some trimming and possibly a cab mount chop

    Maybe, but you will probably have some rubbing on full turns and decent size bumps. I have the same set up with 885s and AAL. I think it's better to have more room to play with vs rubbing when wheeling.

    Thanks all. I've been looking for some of the predator or the nfab rails but can't find any. Also, where did you get your roof racks Kevo526? They look sweet.

    What kind of rims and backspacing are those? That look perfect on your rig!

    Ingnorant question here but what do you mean by leveling kit? How much of a lift did you get? I'm asking because I want to get the Toytec 1.5" leveling kit and I was wondering if I could mount a 275 tire without rubbing?

    I have the bilstein 5100s all the way around. I believe they told me the front sits at about 2.56". And then a 2 inch Block in the back. The offset on the rims is -6mm. They stick out about a half on inch. I don't rub at all. Even in full lock it doesn't rub. So you should be fine to run 275s. My gas mileage hasn't changed a bit. I would get your rig checked out @sport66

    Great looking truck OP! So let me get this straight you have 5100's and still running factory front springs and a 2" block in back? Did you have to extend brake lines? Differential or carrier drop? Do you still have factory UCA? I'm wanting to do a small lift and yours looks great. Those wheels are great looking. I might have to get me a set.

    @Boss808 i didn't have to to any trimming at all. Now with factory rims you might have to but since I have an offset of -6mm it gave me more room.

    @Tractorman yes sir. Factory springs up front and factory UCA. Had to do a diff drop but other than that everything is stock. No extended break likes or anything. And thanks I love the wheels

    Thanks! You might have just solved my lift dilemma! Where did you get the diff. drop from? And no alignment problems with the stock UCA? I will be getting those wheels also. I would think in theory anyway it should work on my 2015 just like your 09.

    @Tractorman the shop set it at the highest notch which I believe is 2.56".

    The shop put the diff drop in as well. Once I got it aligned after the leveling kit everything is awesome. No alignment issues at all @Tractorman
