34s on XL?

[travisN000]

I just had the dealer put a Bilstein 6112 (front) and 5160 (rear) kit on my 2021 Powerboost shortbed, with 34 inch Maxxis Razr AT's (LT285/65r20 ..maxxis reports them as 34.7 x 11.6 in tire).

Stock sport wheels; the front struts are set to the 2.5 inch setting:

..kit was from @Stage3Motorsports
Tires were from tires-easy.com

UPDATE: I do get a slight rub at hard full lock turns in reverse; the rub is on the very edge of the valence, and is minimal. I was considering removing and trimming it anyway. Still not sure if i will

No more rubbing.. see below

That looks like a nice setup. Any rubbing? What did the dealer charge to put on the Bilsteins?

No rubbing so far, and it looks to have plenty of room.. I have only driven to home and work since I picked it up yesterday. Dealer charged $660 for the shock & strut install, and $150 for the tires. I probably could have saved some by taking the tires elsewhere; most shops around here charge $25-30 per tire for mount/balance/disposal.

UPDATE2:

The rubbing got significantly worse after hitting an 8 in deep pothole at low speed moving forward... sounded like I was dragging something under the vehicle. When I got out I found that it wasn't the bumper valance rubbing, but instead, it was the wheel well liner. The liner was re-installed improperly with the strut upgrade and was pushed out by a hose at the rear of the wheel well. Fixing the wheel well liner solved all of my rubbing issues.. lots of rough road driving over the weekend and no more rubbing! The liner just had to be installed behind the silver wrapped hose on the right of the image and another inch or two of clearance was gained:
