Assuming 255/55R18, you'll get about an inch and a half lift from the bigger sidewalls on the 255/70R18 size. Plus the 2" suspension lift.

New brush bar looks awesome by the way.

I'd offer you my stock side steps if there was any shot in hell that they would come unbolted. Gonna need to cut them off unfortunately.

Looking around I only see a 2 inch lift terraform medium duty. Now I don’t have a lot of front end weight so they say it will be more like a 3 inch lift with out the weight?
if so how much this going to effect everything?

sorry never really done a lift and trying to figure things out
