my x is gonna rub, especially with the front winch bumper, not constant, and oddly only on the right front (the plastic mudflap gen 1.5) so I'm looking at lift kits, I'm not doing a body lift as I've already done bumpers and sliders with no lift
no torsion bars but considering I already have the bilstein shocks it'd be money saved
No heavy tbars gonna be an issue?
or how about the fact that one of my rear leaf springs has one less leaf than the other lol

It depends. I've still not lifted anymore than a pml on mine, and I'm running 265/75r16 kenda Klever AT2s. I don't have any rubbing, but I removed the mud flaps ages ago.

Now, I do need to add an add-a-leaf in the rear, especially prior to starting to tow the trailer, but that's about all I plan to do suspension wise.

Do the Sway Away bars. Just do it. Spend the money. The entire front end gets better. For my 1st Gen on 33s I ran those, Calmini uppers, AAL and shackles out back. Truck drove great. No issues. The extra weight of the steel bumper, which, and skids, along with the Bils it drove better than stock.

Going to a ball game tomorrow. Hope the Brewers lose. Already have my premixed bourbon and coke in plastic bottles ready to go. If you show up with plastic bottles that look unopened nobody asks any questions.

Oh, and with the SAWs the starting index on the adjusters is 15° not the stock 40°.

I also put on 265/275 and got some rubbing on the right. Found the right hand torsion bar was not the same as the las the left. About 1 inch lower. I am the only owner so it may have come like that who knows Have not done any lifting at all. Torquing it up allowed more clearance but I also cut minor plastic to be sure they wouldn’t rub.

Going to need it all to watch the Rockies these days. The team must understand the need for its fans to self medicate! ;)

I'm a Cubs fan tho. Tell me about needing to drink at a game. Haha.

I'm going with the hope of the Brewers losing first. By extension, rooting for the Rockies.

No two springs are the same and springs sag over time. My front end was also crooked before I did the PML. one side needed to just be cranked. The other needed to be re-indexed. That and a body lift allowed for 32x11.50s after cutting some plastic.

Finally joined facebook just to use marketplace and interact with the groups, and get this: "You're temporarily restricted from posting to groups until October 1 at 10:33 AM."

Says I probably am blocked due to violating community standards. No clue.
