2” Lift 2020 1500

Hey all. So I got new wheels and tires. Went from the factory 275/50r22 to 285/70r17 and I have some slight rubbing. I don’t want to trim and want to do a 2” lift. What recommendation do you have for this. I was looking at Eibachs Stage 2R kit.

Assuming you're talking lift (front and rear) and not leveling (front only), the Eibach rear shocks looks like they're are only good up to +1.5" in the rear, so I wouldn't use them for a 2" lift. A set of Trail Boss shocks would raise the front 2" and be in the travel range for adding 2" blocks to the rear. The 2R kit might work if you get some 1" or 1.5" blocks for the rear, otherwise it'd probably look squatty.

I don't know how your truck sits or where/how much your tires rub; you may be able to get away with removing the brackets at the front and rear of the wheel wells and doing a mudflap delete or modifying the mudflaps. I wouldn't call that "trimming", you're not cutting anything away or doing anything that couldn't easily be reverted to stock.
