This thread has a lot of useful information in it. Thanks y'all.
@Tricon You still rocking the RL trackbar relocation bracket over the adjustable trackbar? I was along the same lines as you thinking about piecing together what I want. Seems like the drop bracket from RL reasonably high quality and a pretty simple and more affordable solution to the Carli trackbar. I'll see in the end though, not sure the whole price savings would really pan out that much in the end.

I am, it's about $350 cheaper than the track bar and I've had zero issues with it. I was planning on getting the track bar when it came out, but I don't see any reason to...I ended up buying the 2018 Raptor steering wheel instead for $350 with that money, much higher ROI since I touch that beauty everyday
So sorry I just got the 2.5 inch pintop with 17.8.5 wheels with a 4.5 BS, oem radius arms.
13.5 will definitely rub on stock radius arms and sway bar. Questionable on aftermarket arms. Depends on who you use.
in addition you’ll need to trim front valence area and rear wheel well area with 13.5. The toyo patch on a 13.5 is closer to 14.5
How heavy of loads ads do you realistically plan to carry?
i know you’re worried about lawsuits. But if you don’t carry loads it won’t matter. Factory specs these trucks with rims and tires that can handle maximum advertised loads. If you are not towing. It’s a non issue.
or if your loads are well less than maximum you’re fine.
Every now and then I’ll have to go get some tile or have to take a roll off container off a job full. They can easily be 15k or more. The boat is maybe 7k with trailer.

Thanks for the follow-up, I guess I'll ask one more question before I bite the bullet. I'm now leaning towards just the 2.0 backcountry kit from carli, I know they recommend the rear add-a-leafs or the full replacement, but I think you ran for a while w/o, maybe still are? I'm thinking budget wise I may just do that for now, and then way down the line do one of the two options.
Any issues, did you sit level?
I'll be happy as long as I don't have a reverse rake. I do have a toolbox on the back now, I keep it pretty well loaded.

keep us posted what you end up doing. GAWR on the 250/350 SRW is 6,340lb. Which is why I am comfortable towing with rims rates at 3600lb each and tires at 3525lb capacities. Both exceed the GAWR with 10% wiggle room.

I had Discount order me 35x12.50x17 Toyo MTs. I really don’t want to pay 1600 for radius arms for 13.50s and I will not have a load range D tire on this just cause I tow too heavy. I thought switching the 17s for 18s and getting those grabbers in 37x12.50x18 loaf range E and then I thought to myself how great my 2013 rode with a the Toyos and a Carli commuter and said 35s are fine. If I do have 37 envy I’ll buy radius arms with the 37s when I wear these out. I’ll post picks when I install the pintop next week. Thanks to everyone for the input!!
Install started today..... backcountry 2.0, 35x12.50R18 Method NVs with Ridge Grapplers. 4,900 miles on the truck, and can't wait to see the difference!

Love the wheels and tires, excited to see this one finished.
