Brett, I pulled my mother's with the Fiat with a 4" lift no issues. After adjusting the hitch/pin box, the set-up worked just fine. I pulled another one and there wasn't enough adjustment. It was about an inch or two too tall and caused an ugly rake. However, the 20's are lower to the ground. When I bought my truck there was an identical '19 on the lot with 300 miles on it. Black Platinum. Same spec (even the interior color). The bed height of the '19 was 1.25" taller than my '20. I think you might be pleasantly surprised.
I actually borrowed my friends 2500 Cummins to bring the fiver home and it seemed a tad nose high with his stock height truck, which is why I held off on a lift(for now) I was climbing around underneath the other day and noticed the rear blocks look to be barely 2”?
What interior color did you go with?

Thanks!

Yes, I’ll take some measurements pics before and after. It’s a 2.5 ready lift, I have 20x10 fuel rims and 295/65-20 trail grapplers ready to go on, once I install the kit

Ready Lift seems like they have some good stuff. My truck still sits stock. I've been on their site a lot. Are those the wheels/tires from the 2011 in your sig? That's a looker all right.

I have the kit in my garage right now, it definitely looks like a heavy duty/quality built product. Yes! The same rims from the pic

That's actually a very sharp interior. I've seen the other combinations with a light tan and black but you two definitely have the sharper combo.

I can smell that new leather and new car smell from here...

The Black and Tan is no good for me, that white leather would be stained in no time!

And yes the smell, I need to park down the street or the fresh smell keeps me up at night! Lol jk 🤣🤣
