The Icons are set at 2", which leaves a little bit of rake. I haul things in the bed like my motorcycle, and gear when I'm hunting and off roading. This way I don't end up with the nose higher than the rear. Plus I just like the look better this way.

I picked that tire size because it fits my needs with the extra sidewall, especially with the 18's, without it being larger than I need. I could have gone larger, and have seen people do it without a problem, but it's a trade off for gas mileage and more expensive tires.

Well after speaking with Stage3 about the whole Bilstein disaster, I canceled my order for the 5100s, sent back my Eibach spring and 2.25” rear block. Kept the Fox 2.0 rears.
And now I have these waiting to be put on next weekend! Can’t freakin wait! Going to be a whole new truck.

HaloLifts boss 2.0 Coilover set to 2.75”, 3” rear block and the Fox 2.0 rears.

Also have a set of 285-70-18 Ridge Grapplers waiting for me

Just need to get a new set of rims ordered! Can’t decide what to go with.
I’m between the XD Hoss 2, Matte with Tinted edges.. the Moto Metal shift Grey with gloss black inserts..or the XD Monster II
would all be 18mm offset.

What do you guys think on the wheels?


Hoss 2


Moto Metal


Monster II

Moto metal for sure! Look at the Ultra Crusher rims.

There are actually a couple Ultra and Gear Alloy wheels I looked at too, just didn’t know if their quality and durability was comparable to the other brands, such as XD, that guys seem to go with more often?
Was looking at the Ultra X107 Extreme and also the Gear Alloy Blackjack

If you are unsure the Vision Nemesis is a great rim. The 20 inch if the Roush rim from last year.

The tinted edge XD Hoss or shift grey Moto Metal would both be great color combinations for your truck.

I think the Hoss would look awesome, just not sure how the bronze-ish edges would look. Probably just overthinking it. Hell that picture is as clean as my truck ever is so they’ll probably be covered in dirt most of the time anyway.

There’s honestly just so many damn options out there, I don’t know what to go with. Hate to have buyers remorse on something like that.
