    I just put 285/65/20 on my 1794 Off Road and everything is perfect, I would just like to level it out. About an inch.

    Are shims or preload rings preferred? I don’t need a full suspension swap and was wondering if there’s a noticeable ride difference in either. I’m looking at the cornfed suspension items. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    1/2" shim should get you pretty close to 1" lift. I did the same on my 2023 Pro and got 7/8". Easier than adding preload to an OEM shock.

    Did you notice any difference in ride quality?

    No difference at all.
