    So I finally pulled the trigger and got a 2018 platinum. I just have a few questions regarding work I’m looking to do to the truck and figured this was the best place to ask.
    1. will 17s fit the 2018 without the calipers rubbing on the weights or should I do 18s?
    2. Will the eibach 3” kit ( ) fit a 2018 (I know it says 07-15 but I can’t find anything for the 18) and if so will 3 inches up front be level with 1” or 1.5” on the shackles?
    3. Last question for now, if I plan on running 35” all terrains with light off-roading, how necessary is a uca?
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Careful with that eibach kit. They had lots of problems with it not sure if they got fixed or not.

    I agree. I've heard some people having issues with these recently. Theres lots of other good options out there that wont break the bank. Like Toytec ultimate lift or Boss, Fat Bob's, OME, and so on.
    And with 3" front lift, i'd get uca's. You can prob get your alignment in spec with out them, but its worth the time and $$ to get them. I got the Total Chaos uca's and no complaint.
