    Hi everyone,

    I've done quite a bit a searching and have not found any reference pictures or threads to someone running a setup that i'm considering.

    I have a 15' CrewMax 4x4 Limited and i'm looking to install the Bilstein 5100's on the middle setting with Coachbuilder stage 2 shackles (1.25" lift) in the rear. I'm also looking at running a BFG All Terrain in 275/65r20 on the factory limited wheels.

    A couple of goals:

    1. Add a small amount of lift to allow for the bigger tire for looks and to help at the hunting lease

    2. Maintain the factory rake while adding the better rear shackles to help with the 7500 lb travel trailer that I haul 4-6 times a year.

    Has anyone run a setup like this? Think i'll be able to clear the taller tire?

    Anyone have reference pictures of bigger tires on the factory 20" wheels?

    Thanks!

    Andy

    Too many to list.....
    Running Bilstein 5100's all around top setting with 275/60/20 BFG Ko2's and 20 inch black powder Trd Carve wheels. Love it..... Rides great. I may do adjustable shackles in the back at some point and some shims in the front. Just in case I go up more after these tires are done. Last pic is with my old limited wheels right after 5100's were installed.
