If you put 31 inch tires and take her down too much I think you'll have rubbing issues. I think u mentioned this and if you don't have one a front sway bar will make your truck feel a lot better towing or not towing.
Love the stance on your truck. Since I’m going with 31” tires, I think I will try 1” springs up front and 2” springs in the rear. That leaves the door open for a drop spindle and drop blocks in the future if needed.
I do plan on front and rear sway bars.
