Raptor Wheels/Tires are on!
Suspension is 100% stock. Bilstein's (front and rear) are going on tonight set to 1.5" lift in the front. Been driving like this for over a week now and no major rubbing, even with light offroading. I hear minor contact with the passenger wheel well liner on the inner edge when the wheel is turned just right in reverse. I'm very happy with them so far.

Looks Great! How far off is your odometer? I have been considering doing the same set up but with my 2" Hell Bent Level.

Very nice! Truthfully, I like how they are tucked up in the wheel well and really fill it up. I prefer to not do a leveling kit. Could you just do a little minor trimming and forgo the level?

4-5 mph at 60 mph. It's a 1.077 multiplier so multiply any speed by that and that's what I'm seeing. Rick at Livernois redid my tune today to compensate.

I haven't pushed them that hard offroad yet, but with street driving and mild offroading, it's only rubbing slightly in one place. The front inside edge of the pasenger side wheel well liner. I trimmed a little bit off of it to get by for a few days mainly so it doesn't catch the tire when I'm backing up. There is a lot of play in that liner so if you tie wrapped it back or trimmed it more than I did, I wouldn't see the need for a level. Each truck is slightly different though.

Bilsteins are on. I did the front and rears in about 2 hours. Thank God for air tools! The 1.5" setting left me with 1/4"-3/8" of rake accordingly to my very quick measurements after the install. I'll post more pics and exact measurements after I get it realigned tomorrow. So far, I love the ride compared to stock. All the reviews say that they are firmer than stock but it's a good kind of firm. I didn't know what that meant until now. I don't know how else to explain it. It feels much more controlled over uneven surfaces, less body roll and the best part, no more nose dives under aggressive braking.
Thanks for all the compliments.
