to fit the 265/70 17 BFG KO2'S with -12 offset Mayhem rims, I had to use the 2.5" leveling kit from Rough Country, fender flares from Rough Country and fabtech crash bars. The tire still makes contact with the wheel well liner at 100% right turn but not by much

If all else fails you can remove them completely instead.

Your tire sidewall says 32" x 10.5"
I'm on 33x11.5, 3" level. I'd say you'd want at least a 2" strut spacer such as the Rough Country ones. But that is some serious rub so I'd modify or adjust the crash bars almost immediately when you get the time.
I took out the crash bars and ordered the BDS ones. Thanks!

Does it sit level without the trailer ? How much trailer weight on the hitch ?

Yes, it sits level without the trailer. I have airbags, but I don't have the proper drop that came with the weight distribution hitch. I can't get the tongue low enough already, so I'm hesitant to air up to give an even worse angle

Moved from a spacer kit to coil overs recently. Different look, ride, and capability.

Before (top photo): 3" spacer kit (rear 1" block; front topper) with Rough Country UCAs on stock FX4 shocks. 285/60r18 Nitto Terra Grapplers on 18x9 Fuel Stroke wheels with a +20 offset.

After (bottom photos): FP's Fox 2.0 coil overs (ca 2" level), keeping the RC UCAs but dropping the rear block and front spacers. 265/70r17 Falken Wildpeak A/T3s on 17x9 Black Rhino Attica wheels with a +12 offset.

I've been obsessing about wheels for weeks. I'm leaning towards all black, but those chromies just have such a special place in my heart.

I like the way the chrome pulls the other little chrome out on the truck, just enough. I'm not a fan of the all black wheels, I would've went with the brushed with black accent if I couldn't get these.

I was looking at those exact wheels too and man you are making it tough.

My original plan was all black, then I saw Mr. Risks truck and the bronze fuel shoks, which I never would have considered, but they look awesome. I've kind of narrowed it down between 3 of them, but this was my outside idea and you're really twisting my arm.

Forgot to say that these wheels do come in black just to mess with you more, or maybe that's the style you want

Well, the BDS 2” spacer level only lasted a little over 2 months. After debating it and doing WAY to much research, finally settled on the Icon 2.5’s up front and the 2.0’s in the rear. Thanks to Jason at Stage 3 for all his help and guidance. Only put about 20 miles on the truck so for coming from the gym and shop....but the ride quality is greatly improved!

I messaged the shop that installed the Icon Coilovers already but wanted to check with y’all too. The inside CV boot on drivers side is a little puckered/suck in....everything feels secure at clamp. Will this be an issue? Thanks guys!

Update: shop said that if it doesn’t pop back to original look. He will straighten it up when I come back for retorque next week.

My XL FX4. Got the XL for minimum technology and no carpet (most of our county roads are dirt - mud in the spring). Replaced a 2016 Jeep Wrangler JKU.

2.5 Inch level and Toyo Open Country AT2 at 255/80/17 with extra siping for winter.

This is a dope set up. Any other mods aside from the lift?
