FX4s too low, Pirelli Scorpions suck.

I hear ya on the Scorpions. I hate them, as they are better suited to 2WD street rides than all-terrain 4X4 trucks... I have 'em on my FX4 with 8k miles, and am chomping at the bit to put larger Nitto TGs on my stock argent 20s... It's tough to justify the expense though -- it's taken me 3.5yrs to put 8k miles on the truck, and unless I can find someone interested in like-new Scorps, it looks like I'll be several many years away from tire replacement. 
You hate the tires, but have had them on your vehicle for 3 1/2 years? They must be working for you.

Here is part of the hill for anyone curious.
Sorry I didn't get my truck filmed because I was busy driving and didnt even think until my friend asked me to film her pulling. LOL
Watch "GMC tries to pull Titan up steep hill" on YouTube
I made it up first try in 4LO and diff locked. Actually didn't bottom out as hard as when I came down. Surprised everyone including me! Ecoboost sounds sweet hauling up the hill!
This isn't your average logging road haha
I was really happy with the performance honestly.

I guess that's why there is the option of 18's or 20's.

wait. what?
I've got a 157" as well. the longer wheelbase definitely makes the truck look lower and like you said, it makes it easier to high center.
I went with a 2.5" level and 3" rear block with 285/65R20s and I'm happy with the height it's at. about 3.75" more clearance than stock. I made it through some pretty sketchy trails in northern Michigan that a stock truck definitely would not have made it through. but I think you can definitely find what you're looking for with just a level or coilovers and larger rear blocks.

My Scorpion's sucked also.. They started to crack around the rims at 30K miles. But a front and rear leveling kit on the truck with some Toyo A/T 2's one size taller and made the truck look a helluva lot better! Ride is great with the Toyo's too!

when I got my 2014 FX4, there was/is the option for 18's or 20's ... MOST of the FX4's on the lot had the 20's, but my dealer did have a couple with the 18's ...
