Puck in front, block in back.

I have a 2019 XLT 4x4 Crew Cab. I have stock 17in wheels and planning to put 2022 raptor wheels on it with new tires, and the bilstein 5100 lift shocks on the front. I am trying to figure out what tires to get, it seems that 285/70r17 and 285/75r17, BF and Falken is very popular. I am trying to stay at or under 33 inch. Is there any reason to not go with 275/75/17? it's a bit less wider and lighter I imagine.

If you are sticking with 33's. I would recommend 285/70/17 passenger rated tires. I had Falkens on my truck before moving to 35's.

I went 285/75/17. Please know manufactures mostly have variances in the diameter and width. I went Toyo AT3 C. It's just under 1/2" taller than the same tire in E rated. I went 2.5" front and raptor 2.75" rear blocks. Don't need it that high it's just the way I like it. Can still load up or tow without being nose high

I'm looking to get the Bilstein 5100 leveling shock, should I wait for labor day sales?

https://www.stage3motorsports.com/15...shock-kit.html

Im also going to go with the falkens or toyos in 285/70/17. I've called some tire shops but they all seem to not know if they can expect a labor day sale.

Default 5100’s

Installed all four 5100’s last month at my buddy’s shop. Did rotors and brakes too (Detroit axle and ebc green stuff) Truck looks way better, rides excellent, was barely off alignment(did it anyway) and best of all, it’s like driving a new truck. I got the 5100’s from stage 3. Great company.

Thanks, your truck is pretty bad ***. Those are the raptor wheels I got. I don't know why someone would swap those out, they're nice.

Thanks. They are nice for sure, but the Methods are lighter. I was also over the black wheels and went with bronze instead.
