    I have 5100s on top setting with 33x12.5r20. Just had to remove front mud flaps. I have flares with no rear mud flaps so not sure about those rubbing. I'm at work currently but I'll try to snap a pic later if you'd like. It sits perfectly level. No rake, so I'll probably be adding something to achieve that here soon.

    Pics from when I was running 20x9" +20 - Fuel Nutz with 295/60/20 Toyo ATII's on a 3/1" level ... Had to remove the front flaps and massage the front liner with a heat gun but cleared the cab mounts by 1/2".

    Edit, just realized the last two pics were after I installed my flares.

    Sean, I did receive really great customer service from Boss4x4s when purchasing my Bilstein 6112's and the real plus was a price that I gave the vendors here a chance to beat but none could come close.

    Personally, I'd go with the 295/60/20. Might have to do some trimming and remove the mudflap, but most likely no CMC. Taller is better than wider.

    True in most cases ... But once I added my flares, wider became just as important to me. Can't have that tucked in look!

    I probably won't be putting flares on the truck. I am planning on wheels (which I have) tires to go with them. (Ridge grapplers I think) and the Bilstein 5100. Hopefully middle setting. Probably have to max them out though to fit 295/60/20.

    Your Fuel Kranks at +20 with 295/60 will look great. I was happy with that set up until I added my flares.

    Thanks! I thought so too. I really like your truck. Thing is nice! Haha. What's your take on my 5100 middle setting with that size tire? Haha. Might it work? Or not a chance? Lol

    Thanks for your kind comment! As for the 5100's ... I would think it might work. Just remember you'll have to do something with the liner in the front no matter what though. Worst case, if the 5100's don't make enough room ... you can always go to the top setting.

    How is the ride quality of 5100s vs. stock? Shop here said ride quality suffers greatly with 5100s. I want a leveled look, but would like nice ride quality. Rode in friend's Raptor awhile back. It rides nice. Would like similar look, but want nice ride. I guess I want it all!!! Lol!

    Totally forgot to snap a pic of mine...I'll remember tomorrow. Anyway, I was on a spacer lift for quite awhile until I decided to change it. Didn't need the Boss kit for my needs so decided to do 5100s. Let me tell you...crazy difference. Very noticeable in my opinion. The ride quality is extremely nice. Everyone is right when they say do it right the first time. Hope that helps.

    I've spoken to a couple high end Toyota suspension shops about it and all praised the 5100 ride at that price point. Both actually said they felt it was a notch better than stock.

    I have the 5100's all around, with the fronts on the middle setting. The ride quality is just as good as my stock Platinum suspension was, if not a little better. My truck mainly sees pavement only so the 5100's work great for my needs.
