On a side note tho….. my new Falken WildPeak A/T3 275/65/18s will be here in the morning!
Pics please, I’m next! Same exact model and size of tires, but patiently waiting for the ReadyLift kit to drop so I can order the tires at the same time!

The Falken WildPeak 275/65/18 AT3's fit perfectly. No rubbing front, back or on the knuckle.. I LOVE the look.. in town no difference on noise or handling. Haven't had it on the highway yet. The pics of the bars front and rear are at full lock.

Did you guys do an alignment after installing the leveling kit?
Yes. Most of the kits out there (including RC) are coming with alignment specs to give to your shop.

Great write-up. From doing this a couple of times I can tell you it's faster and easier to mark the cams on the lower control arm then unbolt it from the frame and remove the tie rod from the spindle. The strut just slips out easy that way. Reverse install and reset your cams, then get her aligned.

Don't forget to re-aim your headlights.
Funny thing is yesterday as I finished up my lift install, cleaned everything back up, showered, sat down to watch the Thursday night football game I remembered I forgot to re-aim my headlights, so back out into the garage I went since its still dark in the morning when I leave for work and I didn't want to tick off any early commuters.

2.5 inch Rough Country Level with BFG K02 275/70/R17. No trimming required and no rubbing, surprisingly quiet tire...

When I did my tires and level kit it was still light out in the early mornings here and I hadn't gone out at night yet. So I'm out one night and getting flashed by just about everyone and I'm like WTF then I finally realized I was the idiot who forgot to adjust my headlights lol.:giggle:

I adjusted my headlights when I was finished. I got 15 strokes of a 1/4 turn each to get them close to where they should be.
