But like I said there were no issues on the stockers for the 5k miles I had them.

Your truck looks really nice. I'd like mine to sit just like that. Did you add a taller block to the rear when you did the leveling kit, or just the front? I bought the kit for the front, but I don't want to put it in and have my truck look silly because it's nose high.

Thanks!

Thanks. That was with just a 2" level in the front and stock back. Required minor trimming.

Just got mine put on yesterday! Running the Bilstein 5100 at 2.25" setting. Love the ride! Thinking swapping out the block in the back to a 3" to raise the rear 1-1/2" from stock.

Are the 295 70 18 a 35" tire ? I'm buying an 11 xlt crew and plan on leveling it out . It's the v8 not sure about the gears but I wanna do the best setup I can . I don't drive a lot until hunting season comes around so I was thinkin 33 " or 34" . Any help would be appreciated.

I put these on mine (toyo mts). Love em. I tuned it and see no need at all to re-gear in my opinion.

Well since I've posted I traded in my 2011 for a 13 fx4. And I went with the Terra's instead of the trails. Like the look just not as aggressive. But only lost about a 1/2 mpg
