Today I swapped over to the Earlie design aluminum spindle ranger suspension, everything was different down to the tie rod ends, took me over 4 hours to do it
May I know why you decided to make this swap? Curious about the benefits and drawbacks of doing it.

Replaced my BFG KO2 285 70 17s with 315 70 17 KO2s ! Also replaced factory running boards with GoRhino Dominator's. 3 years in and mods keep continuing lol. Waiting on Ford Performance Tune to arrive any day now as well.

Picked up my truck from hail repair yesterday. Hoods are on backorder so I'll have to drop it off for the day when it comes in. I'll be installing some air raid fender vents for appearance later today when I get off work.

Havent pushed it to really know definitively but in the past day, haven't notice anything. Shop seemed confident it was good to go but im still skeptical, so we'll see. 17x9.5 Black rhino armory Wheels with +6 offset in case curious. 3" eibach pro lift in front w/1" rear block.

Nice, I know I'll eventually want to go to 35's. I have similar offset so that helps.

Nice. I was suuuuper hesitant, i know 35s (well, they are technically 34.5 I guess) are pushing it and go against prevailing wisdom. I was running 285/70s for a while and it was time to replace them anyways so i said, screw it hah. It looks night and day better and outside of potential tbd rubbing, the fatter tire rides smoother as well.

Go for it!

I just went up to 285/70 r17 early this year. I got a year or two on these tires before I look to jump. Probably will look to upgrade to some fox 2.5's around the same time.
