Installed Teraflex 1.5” front leveling kit, removed front air dams, and added N-fab nerf steps. No good pics as it got dark on me. 2/10 adding some pics
Follow up: I took it off to remove & cut down the air dams between the bumper and the fender. There is a cross member and other metal underneath it and removing did not improve the looks as I had hoped. So I put it back on.
I put 34x12’s (295/70/17) on a stocker with no lift and they didn’t rub at all for street duty. I would at least have to remove the air dams to flex it much off-road,though. That being said I am adding a 1.5” leveling kit and removing the air dams today.

I figured its purpose was either aerodynamics or splash protection for the engine compartment. I think I am going to pull it to see how it looks. I kind of like having the front axle exposed and if MPG was my main concern I wouldn’t have lifted it and put heavy mud terrain tires on it.
Has anyone removed the front splash guard...the plastic piece under the front bumper on Sport and Sport S that mimics a skid plate? If so do you hav pics? What purpose does this serve. TIA
You can run a teraflex 1.5” leveling kit and run 35’s without issue especially if you remove the filler panels between the bumper and the fender on Sport & Sport S models. No effect on ride.
295/70/17 Yokohama Geolander M/T’s (34x12) on stock Sport max tow rims and air dams in place. No rubbing in average street use but I am installing a leveling kit and removing the air dams for clearance when flexing.
Interesting. I tried two different apps and both showed the truck’s Speedo reading higher than the GPS whether the phone was plugged into CarPlay or not. I drove it by a local radar trailer multiple times and the GPS matched the radar while the truck read 1-2 more MPH than either app.
