This one was right after the leveling kit install.

Ok thanks.

I've been told that I should go with a 305 50 r20 hankook dynamo at rf10 as a lot of thr other tires that want are 10 ply and are gonna ride pretty rough. I'm no looking for a monster truck with a rough ride, but want it to look slightly more agressive then stock.

Anyone run these tires?

I have 305/45r22 dynapro atm XL similar to the 305/50r20's and they ride really nice, quiet and comfortable. They didnt road force balance well though. Also 305's will rub the sway bar with stock offset wheels.

A lot of it depends on the tread and pressure you run in your tires. I have the BFG KO2's which are 10 ply. They ride really well and don't hum like some tires with aggressive tread tend to do but they have that aggressive look.

How do the new design BFG All Terrain KO's stack up against the old design traction wise?

I haven't seen any in person but did notice the tread pattern is slightly different. The new style may be quieter due to the rounded outer tread? I ran the old style that were the outer tread was squared off and they would hum like crazy!

thinking of leveling out the front of my truck 3" and then getting airbags for the rear instead of blocks. Am also looking at dropping the differential to help out the cv angles. if I was to drop the diff at a different time, would changing the cv angles cause me to have to have my truck realigned?

Thanks

I haven't taken it off-road much yet. I've been putting on more highway miles than anything. I'm not too worried on how they'll perform but I'll find out more once hunting kicks off. They didn't change a whole lot in regards to the tread pattern. They did change the sidewall design which helps the look I think.

3" is a lot of level. The diff drops will help with your CV angles, but the tie rods, ball joints, and control arms will still be at extreme angles. Plus you will probably max out your suspension on the droop stops even at rest so you won't have any suspension down travel which means your truck will ride like a covered wagon.

I don't even know what you mean about the air bags instead of blocks comment. The air bag kits help with sagging when towing or loaded. Want to lift the rear a little get bigger blocks or an add a leaf.

Got the pro comp level today and Zone 1.5 body lift. I have a few questions? The upper spacer on the strut can you see it by looking ? Or is it under the metal cap ? Second there is a gap between the the rear bumper and bed. I don't think he installed the rear bracket to raise it ? Thanks for the help.

How big of a gap on the rear bumper mine looks stock with a bigger gap to the hitch with the zone 1.5

That's what I thought. He didn't finish the job thanks. He never raised the rear bumper.

Yea sounds like it not sure on the pro comp level but the rc2.5 level you can't see the upper spacer

I guess my thought was that since there is a 3.5" lift from RC that only replaces the upper control arms (just a better ball joint is my guess) and everything else is the same with spacers and a diff drop...
