Hey Shotgun any updates since this install? I have the same truck and tires, and will be going with a similar kit- how has the performance been? Looks good!

Thanks! I've taken the level kit off and back on a couple times to try different things. Also switched out the 18s to the factory 20s. I've not noticed any difference in performance either way. I will say that a leveling kit on the CC 6.5' box doesn't appear to make as big a change when looking at the truck as it does on the CC short bed. I think it's due to the shorter length making it look like a sharper nose-dive on the short beds versus the standard beds.

Any tire changes? After I level the truck I plan on wearing out my stock Wranglers until they wear out, then replace with a more aggressive tire.

The 20s have the Continental tires and they are very smooth and quiet.

34" diameter max but you will need to make sure you can fit that first. Thickness is going to be entirely based on offset i wouldn't venture over 11.5" of width for the stock rims which are +27mm offset. 295/70/18 is likely pushing it. But you can always trim or pull the fender lining up to clear room. The real issue is at full lock do they rub the UCAs or sway bar?

Ok well on a stock 18 inch rim what would be the biggest size that will fit with no issues and look good?

I forgot you had mentioned you had 18s. I'm not sure what the offset is on those but I'm pretty positive 285/65/18 will fit even without level. with level I would probably try 305/65/18.

Thanks for the advice. Just spending the money on tires just don't want the tires to look small if I have to trim the fenders I don't mind

Thanks! I'm super happy with the entire setup. I almost went with the 285/55/20 but I am glad that I did not as I think that would look too small.

To my surprise, I don't rub on anything and I get a full turn both directions. Its a perfect combo for a daily driver.

I actually waited 3+ months for this color. I ordered it because I specifically wanted it with my list of options. I ordered in the beginning of July and it didn't start into production until the 2nd week in September.

Well for all those who are always wondering about handling and ride quality...

Just took a 12 hour drive up california to the montains in a raggedy old town on some sketch roads. Great ride still smooth corners very well and handled amazing.
