This is great news. I just ordered these for all 4 corners. Expecting them around April.

Can I get some opinions on the height you are using for the fronts?

I hear that some are having issues with the highest settings and some are not.

I have an FX2 and will be putting the Terra Grappler 305 50 20 on my OEM FX2 wheels and want to avoid any rubbing.

No regrets here either, other than the regret of using spacers on the last one

Great thread!

Anyone willing to share pictures and information indicating tire size and height setting?

Thanks!

Please excuse the hijack but if you go the 5100 route, and all you are wanting to accomplish is a 1.5" lift, what else is necessary? Shocks and alignment? Is that correct??

I used the 2dn from the highest setting. I have had them on for about a week with no issues. I live in country of roundabouts and used to have issues with the rear end getting a little loose. Those issues seem to have primarily gone away. I definitely noticed an improvement in handling overall.

Yes. An alignment would also be required with a spacer lift.

Correct. Just an install and quick easy alignment.
