Got the Rocky Road Outfitters 2.5in Lift/Leveling Kit for WL. No problems installing in the Base 4xe (no air suspension).

Since OPs is a base, the lift, and programming will most likely differ for a TH due to the air suspension.
Correct. The lift is only for non-quadralift WL models. It really just lifts to the high position of the Trailhawk with a bit more lift in the front. The spacers and front control arms maintain stock suspension geometry. Got it professionally installed with an alignment. I don't have to worry about the air suspension failing. The wheels, tires, lift, and dealer tow package was still less than the difference between the Base and Trailhawk when I bought last year.

The wheel/tire combo was easy. The 18x9 with 12mm offset are just right. I think I might bump up to 265/70r18 (32.5IN) when I wear out the KO2's. The 12mm bumps them out a bit and helps with clearance. They are good in the mountain snow.

Pretty sure I could go up to 32.5". My 12mm offset pushes the wheels out a bit and helps create clearance. It'll be a while before I try. KO2's last a long time. This lift is technically 2.2" in the front and 1.8" in the back.
