Thanks! I am debating your size or 305/45r22, what made you choose 285/50r22 over other options?
I could use more sidewall so your setup makes sense to me!

I always like the 285/50 just because it gives you a little added height that I thought it could use when levelled. You give up a little width tho obviously, and your tire options are more limited than 305/45. My friend is running the 305 and it looks great also. I guess I just wanted to max out the tire height that was easy to get without trimming.

Can you comment how is the ride quality switching to 5100s on all 4 corners?
I have a 15 suburban with 56k miles and wondering if adding these (and raising the front just a bit, like 1") would improve the ride comfort over bad roads,potholes,snake lines,etc...
thanks for your feedback!
I don't think the bilstiens improve ride comfort, infact they are slightly stiffer than stock. If you want a bit more clearance without any sacrifice at all to comfort then remove the bottom air dam or cut it. The bilstiens are absolutely incredible at reducing the rebound from the stock shocks. Going over multiple bumps or a single large one, the front end won't bounce 3 times before sitting still. The bilstiens literally give you insane dampening without the rougher ride from a stiff king fox or icon shock (at low speeds). At high speeds they don't disappoint either. If you aren't are not pre running...bilstien is the way to go.

This makes tons of sense. More dampening doesn’t mean more ride confort over bad roads, this is consistent with what I read on other forums.
I don’t have to cut the air dam, or deflector because I removed it and installed the police tahoe PPV one that’s super short.
I wanted to level the from for look and clearance of 1 size larger tires
