You have the Bilstein 5100 P/N's you used for those? I suppose you stuck with the factory UCA's as well? And (one more question)... did you do the install or have a shop do it?

Yes, I'm using the stock UCA's. I had them installed by a friend that's a full time mechanic in Feb 2023. I've put about 20k miles since the install and have towed regularly. If I had to do it again I would probably set the front to the 5th position since I tow often.
Awesome! Thanks for the info!

AfterHave you done any fender modifications/pull back etc since installing how are the rear wheel clearances? Is it only the aft of the front wheel wheels that are an issue or is it also very code on the front of the front wheels?

I assume this question was for me on my post above./? The "aft" of the front wheel wells are the only places that rub. I have only trimmed fender felt (approximately 1"x3") and a little bit of plastic (approximately 1"x1.5"); everything trimmed is in the wheel well and not on the exterior trim) There is still some rubbing that I need to address, but I've put several hundred miles on and I'm satisfied...my wife is not happy with the noise when parking so I'll trim more. I think all rubbing is against plastic or felt. Based on my first operation I don't think anything metal will have to be trimmed or hammered. I'll probably really hack on it when I pull the tires off to re-torque the spacers after a few hundred more miles.
I bought the Westcott Designs pull back kit but haven't put it on. Still not seeing any indication that we are rubbing and it definitely sees full lock on a regular basis.

With pullback from Westcott designs you’ll remove the black plate. 4 bolts. Serves no purpose. Installing their new thin plate, that pulls fender liner about 2” back. You’ll then need to trim the plastic piece about an 1”. I did it with a sawzall and then sanded the edges. Looks like nothing happened. Which is why I went with the nitto 34.37 over the 35s at 34.53. No trimming at the front needed. No step modification needed. Overall looks clean.
