^ ^ ^ The difference is your offset is 12, 13 or 18, 19mm different than his. Your wheels poke outside the truck more and when you turn to full lock...

I have a 1.5/1.6" front lift, 32.8" tires on 0 offset wheels and I rub when the steering is almost all the way left and I'm backing.

MadMaxx beat me to it.

Anybody have good reviews or opinions on the Ranchos quick lift kit? I know the Bilsteins are the hot ticket right now but just exploring other options.

I've got them on my '20, and had the same ones on my '17, just did a flipflop. I'm happy with them, and got the advertised 2.5" of lift on both trucks. These aren't exactly built for racing, but do well on pavement and log/fire roads. They have adjustments for ride, not height. For the money, they'd likely be fine for most of us. Only drawback in my mind, is they're painted steel, I'd prefer aluminum for winter durability, no corrosion, but seems they might hold up better than the Bilsteins do if you have a real winter. As it is, I'll likely replace them with Fox or HaloLift for the corrosion factor, just depends if they look bad after this winter. I prefer them over the 5100's I had on the '17. IMO, coilovers are the way to go, all in one, already assembled, and no more work than installing spacers.

stock

2.25 inch level with 275/60r20 ridge grapplers on 20x9" gloss black fuel mavericks. I like how it turned out. Maybe one day down the road I'll swap over to 5100s.
