Welp, after realizing id need a lift to fit my ideal wheels and tires, i ended up going with Rough Country 2.5 inch leveling kit. It took about 3 days to arrive in the mail and i got it installed in 3 days, but that was with limited time for each session and allignment. In my autotech class im able to bring my truck in to work on and so for the first day i only had from around 9:00 to 10:30 to work so i was able to get everything installed on one side and got all the way to taking the strut out on the other side. The next day i came in early at 8:00 and got to work. Installation only took until around 9:00 after triple checking torque specs for everything and it went perfect. I didnt think i had time to allign the truck so i left that for today. Went in and did the allignment on my own but it took around 2 hours. Im not super experienced ive only ever done allignments for maybe 2 cars so it took a bit. Went great! I was able to leave with my truck, and driving it around i have no odd steering and it looks great! Difference is hard to see on camera but ill post before and after pictures. Im looking into 285s on 17s with a bit of negative offset. Cant wait to update again! (Photo on left is before) and ill grab a photo identical to the before tomorrow

I’ve had the RC level lift installed for 4 years now. It has been great. Perfect ride and handling with it.

I would have thought it would wear on the outside tread, they must have over compensated?

How awesome for you that you have the skills (and equipment) to do it yourself! Congrats on the build. We look forward to pics of the finished product.
