Truck looks good. Seems to have a slight rake which I like. I'm about to add the Bilsteins to my truck which is very similar to yours(285/65R18 vs 275/65R18). Why did you add the 1" rear blocks? Was it nose high @ the 1 3/4" setting?
Mine measures stock 22.5" in the front and 24.5" in the rear measuring from the center of the wheel to the top of the fender wells. I don't want to go a full 2" for fear of it winding up nose high. I'm wondering which setting on the Billsteins will give me the most pleasing appearance.

On my prior 2015 XLT 2WD I installed Bilstein 5100s with the same settings. To me, after the level, the truck looked nose high and it bothered me to no end. On my current 2016 XLT 2WD, I didn't want to have the same experience so I installed the 1" rear blocks to maintain some of the rake. I think the current setup looks great, especially with the new wheels and tires!

Beautiful truck! I love the two tone on the long bed. I'm assuming that was a special order?

Had to pick up my other toy today from the shop. Got it serviced and ready for projects all spring, summer and fall. I love working on this thing !! Added some LED bars to the ROPS so I can work a little later or kick them on for those night time deer cleanings. Truck got squatty for sure but not real bad for as much weight as it had on it. Pretty impressed with how the 3.5 handled pulling it as well.
