I cranked up the t bars a few turns, trimmed the front air dam and zip tied the front lip of the drivers fender liner.

how'd that affect your ride quality?

I didn't have to crank my torsion bars, but I did trim my mudflaps and inside corner of the front airdam. I also reshaped my driver's fender liner. This is with the stock rims. I have some aftermarket on the way. More to come on this.

With factory alloys, up 5 rounds on T-bars and reset caster (so it doesn't wander) all cleared as is, but only about 1/2" at air dam. '05 2500HD D/A ext SB. 1500 mi no rubs yet... No off road either...

i cranked the tbars to level out the truck as soon as i got the truck (still had stock 245s). ride quality didnt change at all. didnt do a thing when the 285s were put on and ive had them on for about a month and they havent rubbed at all. mine are knobby mud grips too.

I just ordered a set of 285 Revos for mine and will be putting them on the stock wheels. Should be in on Friday.
