Wow that's nice. From what I been seeing it is hit or miss on going with that size. Are they K02's, no rubbing in reverse full lock?
Just noticed you are running 18's I wonder if that makes a difference

@smcrow Looks great, who says OEM wheels can't look good. How much room is there between the sidewall and your UCA?

your welcome, not sure how often guys are getting this lucky like i did but i hope more often than not. Still has 1/2” of take also. Only thing i can figure is the Max Tow package is what made the difference to allow the 2.5” to work perfect

That could be, mine is a SCab, without Max Tow, and I had 3" of rake stock too. Then again, my truck would be a bit lighter. I've got it down to 1/2" as well. Only trouble I have, is with 360# of sandbags, moved all the way forward, it sits level now. I picked up 600# initially, 240# for my other truck, and I dropped a full 1 1/2". Wagon was saggin'. Doesn't take much with these 150's.

it really doesn’t take much, had a 2.5” on my 2017 Screw and when i would hook my quad trailer on it would squat....lol i plan to put air bags on this one just for added measure

Fox 2.0's up front, Bilstein rears with 2" blocks netted 0.5"-0.75" of rake. Includes 300 lbs of sand in the bed - keeps the back end planted in the snow and makes for a much smoother ride.

Got the halo 2.25 rear kit done at work tonight but couldnt seem to get any decent pictures. Will have to update in the next few days.
