Can we get a close up pleaseeeee
Yeah for sure, dark out now but I'll try to remember to get some pics tomorrow. I also had the rear suspension flattened this weekend the day after putting the tires on hauling scrap metal to the dump and there was still no rub.

Does anybody here know if I can get away with 265/70r18 no rubbing on 2" BDS leveling kit?

The tech at the tire shop says yes but I'm still skeptical...
That’s what they use on the tremors I believe.

Just got my Michelin LTX/MS in size 265/70/18 installed.
Adjusted diameter from 30” to 32” on my STX tuner that also has the Unleashed Tune installed on it.
Tire psi set at 35, sounds about right but may have to adjust.
$70 rebate from Michelin and $50 from TD for using their credit card.

Suspension setup is Eibach’s adjustable coil overs and rear shocks. Coil overs adjusted down from the factory settings to a front fender lip height of 37.5”.
1” Bora wheel spacers on the hubs.
Hellwig rear sway bar.

(Note; Tire Discounters told me they are not supposed to mount the tires if wheel spacers are installed, they didn’t notice or did it anyway without complaint)

Looks like the perfect size and feel great.

EDIT: the drivers side rubbed just a bit at full right turn on the plastic cover over the crash bar. I removed the cover to clear then loosened the crash bar bolts and pushed the bar closer to the bumper. The passenger side was already pushed towards the bumper and was clear.

Cooper AT3 4s 265/70. Bilstein 5100’s front and rear, with the fronts at the 1.2” setting. Really like them, but I’m pretty sure they are going to ding my mpg’s by a mile or two per gallon.

Looks great, are you just running the OEM springs at a different height setting?
