Looks good! I really wanted the grabbers in 37s but couldn’t find them anywhere when I bought mine.

I got lucky somehow, most places were out of the falkens and the grabbers in that size but my dealer actually came through; plus buy 3 get one for $1.

Looks good, surprised you needed the Daystar correction pads as the Mopar lift comes with new lower spring pads to compensate for the axle shift and potential bowing

Mine was same way out of all places on the Yokohama geolanders. I called around and could not find a 37 anywhere. Finally called the dealership and they had them on special.

Didn’t know if I would need the correction pads but seemed like simple insurance after reading through the forum and seeing my stock ones were deformed. Plus the Mopar kit doesn’t improve on the design still cheap flexible plastic. Added bonus was it provides an extra 1/4” of lift up front to help level out the truck.
