Looks great man! What size tire did you end up going with? Also, your thoughts on it so far?

How is the ride after the rancho 4" kit? Discounting the lt tires does the kit itself stiffen up the ride?

With the RS9000XL shocks, you can adjust the firmness of the shocks from 1-9. I have all 4 corners set to 3 currently, and it floats over bumps in the road. BUT, you can definitely feel some transfer bc of the tires and wheels. The ride of the actual suspension is great though.

Love these shocks, have mine set on 4 (F) and 2 (R).

Great looking truck, whinds! I think the 4" lift on these trucks with 35s is the perfect combo

I ended up with the nittos in a 35x12.50. I think that ride is great. I have all four corners set to 6 (that is what came from the factory) and I still think the ride is as good or better than stock. I still have to trim just a bit from the front valance.
