That looks really nice. I also have a Super Cab. I’m still a little confused about the tire sizes. The factory Goodyear’s are a 275/65R/18, but your BFG look much larger, And the only difference being 70’s instead of 65’s There is that much difference between 65 and 70’s?

Default Fox 2.0 Level w/ 275/65R20 BFG KO2s

Finally got my leveling kit on and tires mounted. Really makes a difference on the truck IMO. Went with a Fox 2.0 leveling kit and the instal was very straightforward.

Tires are 275/65R20 BFG KO2s and I have zero rubbing on my WeatherTech mud flaps. I opted against the 285/65R20s because I wanted to keep the mud flaps and to be honest, they would have probably rubbed seeing how close the new tires are to the flaps. Overall very happy and the ride is smooth with minimal road noise.

Are the numbers you posted from the BFG and Goodyear catalogs/specs pages?

Okay cool. Just making sure since a 275mm tire wouldn't vary in width (11" vs 11.5"), so you either reported from web site or had a typing error.

Might be the difference between P-metric sizing and E- rated light truck ?

When you bought the fox shocks did they come with new hardware and bolts to mount or did you reuse the stuff on your stock struts?
