You have a P/N for the bilsteins? I ended up going with a 20x9 and -12 wheel as I don't plan on running an extended flair. I'll be ordering the lift and tires shortly. Probably just going to go with the RCX lift.

I would have to look them up. It's just the regular adjustable 5100's. I have them set at 1.5". There is a vendor on here that sells them for 195 shipped I think. With the 20x9 you won't have to do much trimming. Make sure you post pics when you get it all on!!

i have 34.8" tires and regeared to the G2 4.56's front and rear. I had 3.73s prior, and really noticed a lack of performance towing, that was the main reason for the gears. The 4.56's make the truck really fun to drive when not towing. Amazing low end power. I did notice a hit in MPG but that may be due to the fact i am on the throttle a lot more since the tune and gears.

I got lucky that my 11 had the old style bearing. I guess some 11's can have the 4.56s and some cant due to the bearing change. If you regear, i would definitely do the 4.56s or else i wouldnt see the benefit for the money it costs.
