Definitely. But now the stock tires look too dinky. They don't fill out the wheel well anymore. Next step, some 20" rims wrapped in 35" rubber.

With the Bilstein 5100's, what size tire would I be able to put on my truck. I have a 2012 FX4 Ecoboost with 20's. Im looking at Nitto Trail Grapplers and 20" XD Series Revolver rims. I do not want fender flares so the tires would not be able to stick out from the fenders to much if at all. I have been hearing you can put 285/55/20, 295/55/20 or 305/55/20. Any help would be appreciated.

I thought the same but I realized that I had been going down the road listening for anything wrong sounding from my level and so I ran the volume lower than normal.
I basically summed it up as since I was listening so intently for the bilsteins that I noticed other little sounds that I just didn't hear before.
I have since gone back to my normal listening volume on the radio and the dash sounds went away. Lol
