For reference to those viewing this thread

I went with the Eibach kit as well, but I went with 295/70/18's with 18x9 Fuel Rebels at +1mm offset

Yes I did need to modify the bumper and a tiny bit on the front crash bars, but nothing dramatic.

Not sure my range hit yet.....

Can you share pics of the bumper and crashbar mods you had to do?

OK so I did something today and I need some opinions. I changed out the running boards. I really like the way these new ones look, but.... they are wider than the OEM ones and from the side of the truck you can see they protrude about an inch beyond the wheels. Maybe it is ok? I feel like I am violating some kind of rule. I think it would have looked better if my wheel offset was closer to 0 then the +20 now...

It is hard to capture in pictures, but it is noticeable to me when I stand next to the truck how they stick out a bit:

What do you think? OK? Or not OK?
I think your offset is perfect 👌. I truly would base your opinion of the steps on looking at it from a perfectly linear aspect either... nobody else is to notice the poke. If you like the side profile and function I say you're golden.

Thanks! After a few days, I definitely like these steps, i am keeping them for sure. The thing that keeps bouncing around in my head is if I should try and swap these wheels for ones with more poke. Maybe not, but we will see. For now I am pretty happy with it. After about 400 miles i am getting 2.0mi/kWh. So about a 15-20% range hit, but IMO well worth it...
More offset = more wash from the tires, mud, rock and debris etc...
