So many pages!! Hoping someone could point me in the right direction, I purchased a set of 4WD front struts (21 mile take-offs) hoping it would be an easy 'level' for my 2019 RWD. Installed one side and had interference with the knuckle and the spring so I went back to stock. Is the 4WD spring larger diameter than the RWD sping? Are the upper control arms different? Is the knuckle different? Would a leveling puck be a better option? Thanks in advance, TonyG

zclif, your truck looks great!

When're you getting the front camber corrected, though? Looks like too much positive camber... then the toe will need to be set, too.

you know I have had the truck aligned when I tried 22x12s but the shop couldn’t get it perfect. I might try and get it aligned again

Might be the cellphone lens' distortion, but you might have someone put an eye on that front camber. Otherwise, just keep yer new kicks rotated every 5000 for decent tire wear. I'm sure you have some excellent dampers (shocks) on the truck now too.

Really looks good.

Did they use cambolts when it was aligned?. Some shops won't even attempt an alignment without them.
