^^^^That is a kick-a$$ good looking truck. Every time I see a truck with 18" wheels I am reminded why I should have ordered with the 18" wheels. I guess vanity got the best of me. But I really like seeing some good sidewall
on a tire because it works much better with the suspension that way.
Thank you sir. My 2018 had 20" wheels and 35s (which looks great btw!). This 2019's 37s on 18s setup is a much softer ride. Don't get me wrong, trucks with BIG wheels turn my head all the time (on the road, on Instagram, etc. - 20-22-24+" with the right setup it can look boss), but I know what that means for ride quality. I like the look of these OEMs just fine for the moment. At some point I'm going to put Matte Black 17 or 18" Method NV's on this thing (and probably keep MTs on here, they ride so well)
Personally I don't think I would put black wheels on that truck. The wheels that are on there look just fine. Too many trucks nowadays have black wheels and in many cases black wheels are just not the best for the particular truck.
I guess one reason I really like the Method Double Standard in 17" so much; those things just reek serious when you look at them with some MTs mounted up, whereas 24" wheels just kinda look flat-biller to me. Poser. Same thing with
wheels with huge negative offset, so the tires stick outside the wheel wells 6" and nonsense like that. Just looks stoopid... I like to see trucks set up real purpose-built with right suspension, proper wheels and tires, everything tight and clean.
Totally functional.
Here is my 2019 with a 3.5" spacer level that TOaP installed. The ride is pretty damn equivalent to stock. The included radius arm drop brackets provide plenty of caster for stock-like steering/ride (unlike most 2.5" kits, unless you follow up with proper caster cams). I am very happy with it - there is zero bump steer and my wheel snaps back on hard turns. The kit is the "rugged offroad" 3.5" leveling kit, identical in every way (except parts are a different finish) to the ReadyLift 3.5" SST kit (3.5" pucks, RA drop brackets, TB relocation bracket, brake line relocation brackets, sway bar drop brackets, bump stop extensions, etc.). TOaP says these are made in the same factory, just sold under a different brand than the "ReadyLift" name for a cheaper price. I think I paid $650 installed. Has shock extensions in the front, but as soon as I decide what shocks I want to go with (No, won't be Fox 2.0s - those were terrible in my 2018) - I'll replace those with longer shocks.
great lookin truck! 3.5 might be too much for me since im nearing the threshold for the parking garage.. I have a car I can use in case the truck doesn't fit but im not sure if im keeping the car or seling it
you wouldn't happen to have a picture would you? how does the truck ride empty?
Here’s the after of a 2” BDS level with the Fox 2.0 Performance shocks
This is the after pictures of the 2” BDS leveling kit, with the Fox 2.0 performance shocks on all corners. The measurements are from the pavement to the top of the front and rear wheel wells.
Before leveling
Front - 40.5”. Rear - 44.5”. Rake - 4”
After leveling
Front - 42.5”. Rear - 43.5”. Rake - 1”
You can see that the BDS 2” leveling was exactly 2” on the front. What surprised me a little bit was by leveling the front and changing the shocks in the rear, the truck actually lowered by less than 1”. The rake went from 4” before leveling to 1” after leveling. Which is perfect for me, as I don’t want a nose-high stance when pulling smaller trailers or my bass boat.
I have pictures of the measurements if you want them, I just didn’t want to bog down the post with 4 more pictures.

that looks good.. hows the ride? do you think youll be rubbing if you get bigger tires

It rides very good. It’s firmer, but not overly stiff. I have no complaints about the ride on asphalt. I haven’t taken it off road yet but I know the Fox shocks will definitely out-perform the factory shocks off road.
I have no idea if oversize tires tires will rub, I usually stay with the factory tire size.
