Run the tire Cold Inflation pressures (measured first thing in the morning!, in shade) listed on your driver doorjamb, and PUT THE BILSTEINS on the BACK, too!
I am guessing your new 275/65 are LT. If you are going to that fron a stock tire then that might be what you are experiencing. It is the reason I am thinking of going back to a 275/60 from my current 33x12.5. Too stiff.
I had a 2011 5.0. . 295 70 17 mud terrains and rode like **** but I put a puck spacer on instead of billsteins. I jusy want to have my cake and eat it too i guess haha.
I am wanting to install Bilstein 5100s in the front and rear soon and will also need new tires in the Spring. Would I be able to fit 275/65r20 Toyo ATIIIs without cutting crash bar? I have looked all over this forum and have found very limited information specific to 2WD trucks. The other option is getting the MaxTrac 4" spindle lift, but that's about a $600 difference, and I would rather have the ride quality of the Bilsteins.
Well, finally got the 3" rear blocks installed. Left with a 1" rake as expected. I'm happy with everything except now I gotta get some bigger tires! Now the factory tires look like doughnuts!
So there’s a ton of info and here and almost 300 pages to read through on here is a bit much. I’ve had either a pickup or suv for the past 15 years but I’ve never tried leveling them or changing out wheels/tires. So this is all new to me. I am very interested in adding a leveling kit either 2” or 2.5” and I have my eyes on these Fuel Contra wheels and it says they are 20x9 or 20x10. I just really need help with all of this. If I were to go with a 2.5” lift and I got the 20x9s what size tires do I have to get with them? Will that setup rub? Or do I need to go with the 20x10? Complete noob questions probably but I’m at a total loss in this world. Mine is a 18 SCrew. Thanks

Dont know a thing about the rims, but the one thing I can tell you is measure your rake BEFORE doing anything!!!!! I installed the blistien 5100 leveling shocks and set them at 2.1" lift after reading that most people's were perfect at that setting! It was 1" too high in the front! Then I read that the block in the rear on a 2019 4x4 was 1.5" so I ordered a 3" block for the rear and expected to end up with 0.5" rake. When I pulled the rear block on my 2019 fx4, it was 1" so that left me with 2" of lift and it still has the 1" factory rake 🤬🤬🤬🤬 I'm leaving it there for now as it was perfect with my pontoon hooked to it yesterday but originally I was shooting for perfectly level!!!!!!
