They aren't stretched. My sidewalls are perfectly flat. 12.5" tires on 12" rims. People that stretch use 14" wheels and 12.5" tires. A 20x10 wheel on a 12.5" tire would give round side walls. I'll post a close up.

Bilsteins ride so much better and actually improve handling.
Agreed. But you paid A LOT for installation. Local Ford was going to do it for $200. Ended up doing it myself but still.
No. Just no. If you want more lift, go Fox 2.0 and crank them to a max of 2.5". You don't want more if you're 4WD.
@Broqsten I'm not a big fan of the stretched tire on crazy offsets. But if you gotta do it, THOSE are definitely the wheels you want to use, looks killer.
So to me, it looks so wrong, but so right.

Ok, I was set on a spacer but now I am getting interested in the Bilstein's. I can't seem to find them for a '14. Does anyone know who carries them for a '14 (or '15 as they are the same)? I really like the option of just replacing the shock and also changing the height if I don't like it at first. Any help is appreciated.
Finally got my 2inch level on today. Front is .15" higher than the back, so overall I am pleased. Now just gotta get some meats. The tires on there now are 275 70 18 firestone transforce AT's which are a 33, but highway all terrain.
