That is definitely making want to go with the 2.5s. I wasn't sure if the rears would fit on the tremors and I didn't get a clear answer form S3M. I'm just not looking forward to removing /cutting the crash bars :frown: I wish Ford would engineer less bulky ones that could get the safety job done.

Any pics of your setup???
Yeah rears fit fine with no issues, just be sure you follow the directions and orientate the reservoirs away from the axle or youll hit some lines on compression. Only issue i ran into was with my mbrp dual exhaust on the drivers side, so had to get the exhaust fabricated to route a different way, but stock should have 0 issue.

Beautiful set up! :like: I really appreciate the help. I will probably be going with the 2.5s front and rear, add the readylift bars, and go with the 265/70/17. I'm looking at some Method 316s.

Also, no issues with the stock UCAs?

Wow! You can see how much clearance you have with the wheels pointing straight. This is making me think I shouldn't have an issue then.
I'm 99% sure you'll be fine. There's always that one chance, but I've not read anyone having issues with +25 and 265/70R17. I just took 3 pics to show the amount the stick out. Hopefully it helps with your decision.

AFAIK no, i had Ford do the alignment and they didnt mention any issues. Although i should ask for a spec sheet just in case.

Sorry I'm hopping back on this thread!! What do you think about a 275/70/17 with the 2-2.5" lift and +25mm offset? Likely rubbing issues on the front crashbar? Thanks in advance!

I've not tried 275's so I'm not sure I can answer your question. From what I've read others have been ok with them, but it could go either way.
