If you are referring to the rc 2.5, I'd say you feel like you are sitting up higher and probably have a higher center of gravity, but honestly even with the new tires and wheels and lift, I think cornering feels close to what it is before.

I drove around yesterday and feel like most things are very very close to stock

Awesome. That’s what I was wondering.

I'll get better pictures, but here is my 37s I just installed. Only rubbing was on the steps or running boards. I'll trim or replace those.

I like the look of the Toyo R/T's...and their weight... They were in the running for me as well, but settled on Mickey T. Baja Boss AT's. How do they ride?

Honestly I felt like at low speed, you can feel the individual knobs on tires a little more...

And haven't driven a ton, but I think they may be a tiny bit louder at speed... But so far I'm happy.

I've had two sets of toyo open country rt (not the trails) on my ram 3500 and they have been fantastic. Great tread life and very little compromise. Hoping the rt trails are equivalent but only time will tell.

From what I've seen, I suspect most anything that is a spacer or collar for non hoss 3.0 will work for hoss 3.0. I feel like people just assumed they were more different than they were.

When installing rc2.5 the only real difference I saw, was that the studs on the top of coil over assembly were threaded on the hoss 3.0 all the way to the end instead of having a 1/4" unthreaded section. Made it slightly more complex to install since you have to cut/grind those studs and not totally ruin threads. (Put nut on before cutting/grinding, chamfer stud, undo nut, chase threads and you'll end up with OEM like finish)

I wish RC 2.5 would say something official. Seems the only difference is when grinding the stud as stated above.
I agree, RC needs to get on the ball. Not that it matters to me anymore. I have the 2.5" on my Hoss and love it. No issues.

I dont think everyone whos installed the rc2.5 has even said the bolts were the same problem I had. That really was no big deal. There were definitely things I'd do differently than the directions... things that make installing the lift a LOT easier to install.

Some feedback on the 2 in Rough country kit, It was smooth as glass running close to 70 MPH on rough sand. I was trying to go faster but seemed like I was limited. That being said its a short wheelbase and kinda sketchy.
