Awesome to hear, I'm installing those plus some other rear end upgrades soon, really looking forward to the outcome.

Finally a post level pic, bilsteins at middle setting, 1.26”.





Also added yellow lamin-x for the fogs. Personally prefer the yellow output in fog and snow. Would advise getting whole sheets of lamin-x and trim yourself over the precut.

Nice tire and wheel set up. Any rubbing? How much does the tire stick out? Getting the same tire set up but i can't decide if i should go with a +6 or 0 offset

No rubbing, even prior to level from the bilsteins. Tires are relatively flush. Looking down from the fender you see some sidewall bulge but not the tread.
