Anyone See Anything Wrong w/ this Combo?
I have a 2011 Scab with the 3.5 Eco and the factory trailer tow package with the 3.55 gear. I am looking at getting a 2" level kit from Hell Bent Steel and mounting a set of BFG's A/T KO LT305/65/R18's on my stock chrome clad wheels.
This truck is used for towing our travel trailer that has a dry weight of 6800 lbs. Also plan on occasionally loading my Fat Boy in the bed while towing.
New to the truck world and curious if those of you with more experience can tell me if this sounds like a good combo?
Thanks

You will want taller blocks on the rear, our add a leaf springs, to keep the factory take when towing, otherwise, your truck will squat when towing and hauling.
Other than that, you should be good to go.

Keepin' the lights on!
I'd add in some rear airbags.

You could just get stabilizer bars. They are used specifically for sagging in the rear when towing.

Will 305's fit on 7.5" wide rims?

That's really pushing it if you're asking me and causes a safety issue. According to tire rack, 305/65/18 BFG AT TA KO's suggest a 9" rim and the acceptable width range is 8.5"-11"...
