So I did a thing!

I have been running 275/65R18 BFG's on my leveled 2019 Lariat since I bought it (actually had the dealer swap the stock tires for the tires off of my trade-in lifted Grand Cherokee). I have been lusting after some Fuel Shoks for a few years now and finally pulled the trigger. I looked everywhere for some General Grabbers, but they are back ordered nationwide it seems, so I "settled" on sticking with KO2's.

Current set up now is 285/70R17 BFG's on Anthracite D665 Fuel Shoks (ET +1). This is finally the look that I have been after since buying the truck. Love it! I am now saving up for Stage 3's Icon Stage 6 package. That will complete my suspension build. Hope to purchase later this year.

Sorry for the dirty truck, but...it's winter here!

Excellent choice...?

After 3 years, I'd still choose the same wheel...it looks strong and very easy to clean...no fussy crevices to deal with...

I love the subtle ’NCC-1701-A’ on the hood. Does that technically make your Ranger a 2286 model? From one Trekkie to another, nice truck.

Yep, totally agree! Actually your truck is one of the ones that I modeled my look after...minus the 2.21 gigawatts of lights! ;D

I have been lusting after them for a couple of years now. They look really good on the truck, and match the grey/magnetic trim very well.

I think you and I are the only one's here with Anthracite Shok wheels...
