    I have read post after post on lifts and tire size, but have got to the point of questioning the right application.

    Goal is to install 275/60/R20 Falken wildpeak at3 / paired with as mild a level/lift with the understanding that fender liner trimming may be necessary. I thought Toytec was the go to place until I called and confirmed what their website states (Their 2.5 / 1.5 don't work with 2018+ Limited's). I was under the impression these things have not changed for the last decade. What happened and why does that kit no longer work?

    2nd part to this is that Rough Country (2/1) and Revtek (3/2) have kits that work, but the Revtek has a diff drop as well. Is the diff drop needed because its 3" front and 2" rear? And with the Rough Country kit not having the diff drop, should I be concerned?

    Right now I am leaning towards the Rough Country and trying squeeze the 275/60's, but am so torn.

    From what I heard 2018+ Limited the shocks are shorter. So you need longer shocks like Bilstien 5100 or better.

    I have the RevTek #432(3/2) it comes with different rear shocks as well.

    That makes sense then, as both come with shock extensions for the XREAS so not to have to change the shock type.

    Not extensions, RevTek comes with a different pair of shocks with the #432 kit.

    The shock extensions may not be as durable as a actual shock, but if it's the look your after they may work until you get 1 piece shocks, it's kind of the route I took when I got the RevTek kit, but I'm considering a Elka suspension for our ORP, and it's like a few members said... "do it right the first time." I learn slower than some! But if it's the look your after, the shock extensions should work.
