Yes, the truck as whole sits an inch higher due to the tires. I really like the additional height!
wow. Really looks good. I have 5100s installed in the rear, and the fronts are sitting in my house waiting for me to put them on. I have the same wheels on my 18' and now seeing them with beefy rubber, makes me actually like the wheels again. Good Job. Question though, for my own learning, stock hankooks are 275/55, and you only went up 10mm to 65's and it made that much of a difference? Shouldnt it just life the truck about 10mm compared to stock rubber?

Here's my '16 Screw. With 2-inch lift for the front, stock height for rear. (I lost 1 mpg with this setup.)
Suspension: Eibach Pro truck level kit (Just the shocks used the stock spring)
Tires: Toyo AT 2's 305/55x20 (extreme model)
Wheels: Sota 20x9 with 0 offset
Added the flares too. As the wheel setup sticks out about an inch. Slight rubbing in reverse, which doesn't bother me.
Since I live on this site before I leveled my truck, I wanted to contribute for the next guy. I installed Bilstein 5100’s on all 4 corners and installed Toyo RTs 275/65/20’s. I initially installed Toyo RTs 35x12.5x20’s as several people indicated that they worked with no rubbing,cutting, or removal of crash bars. The 35’s rubbed the UCA’s so I dropped down to 275’s with no modifications besides the Bilsteins. I do not want to say it rides rough, but you do lose that Cadillac feel, you can tell you have aggressive tires in low speeds up to 45, but after 45 it is very smooth. I really did not want to compromise the stock ride quality. My set up does slightly; however, I am happy with it. It is not bad at all, but it did reduce the stock ride. I hope this helps someone and I greatly appreciate all of the posts, reviews, and comments. Stock, after Bilsteins and after Bilsteins and Tire photos below. BTW, I did it all myself in my garage, rented spring compressors from Autozone. I am no mechanic, it was not very difficult with video instructions from YouTube, manufactures videos, and sales sites.

Truck looks great. Thanks for the insight. Couple questions, what setting did you put the bilsteins on? and what motor do you have? What's been the effect to your mpg with the new setup?

Yeah, I am running the same size tires and they made the biggest impact on the ride. The bilstein's gave me an excellent ride. The bfg's took away from that but it is no where near as bad as stock suspension was.

Does this fit in your garage? looks like a standard 7'?
