Rubs the sway bar a little at full lock. Also dropped my MPG by 2.5 but oh well. Gotta pay to play. 2014s have studs on the lower shock mounts vs a thru bolt.

Do you think if I installed 305/55-20's with the 2" autospring it will rub or I will have to do any trimming?

You might or might not get a slight rub on the UCA when turned to full lock? But they shouldn't rub anywhere that would require trimming. PawPaw ran 305/55-20's (33's) on his 2011 4x4 w/stock wheels with no level and no rubbing.

Did you rub at all with the 295/60-20's with the 2" leveling kit on your black truck that i saw pictures of?

Getting ready to put 275 65 20's on my 2" leveled '09. Think I'll have any problems?

A vote here for coilovers, but I do understand they are not budget friendly.

However this is about +1.75" up front and about +1.0" out back and a 275/65/20. Rides great.

That's crazy. My 295s look super wide comparatively and somehow rub on the sway bar. Maybe it's just the picture.

No i didn't. But on my 2014 w/1.5" level and 295/60/20's I didn't have any rubbing for the first 6 months and then all of a sudden I developed a slight rub on the lower valance when backing up and turning sharp. So something settled?? I did some minor trimming on the lower valance and all is good again.
