Do the collars or springs void any part of the factory warranty?

Technically it could. You're modifying ride height, which changes your CV angles, modifies your shocks, etc.

That said, I had my CV boot replaced under warranty with RPG collars installed and the dealer never even asked about them. It would ultimately depend on your dealer.

Not sure what year your truck is, but if you have a 2019 or 2020, we've successfully run the VenomRex wheels (20x9 +12 offset) on 35x12.50R20 tires with no collar, no springs, and no rubbing. The 2017-18 trucks ride a bit lower so they'll need some modification or trimming without suspension upgrades.

Looking for the hammer to drop here so can get a screaming' deal on a 20'. Have seen 20's with an invoice of $75k marked down to $65k so far. When it hits $58-60 I'll jump.

WOW!![emoji15]. No frigin way!! I wish I would have waited a month or two. I bet your options are going to be very limited though. Leadfoots appear to be hard to come by, especially with the blue accent package. I know cuz I looked. Your gonna be stuck with what’s on the lot. Productions on hold. Good luck to you though. Post pics!

Carbon plug.com has some nice Carbon fiber pieces as well. I’m about to jump on the CF key fob, only $69!

Please provide the breakdown on how to get $10K off? That would be below invoice minus holdback. Dealer would be losing money. I can't even get that kinda deal on a 19.

I would take that deal!

That would be off of the invoice on the window. BTW, I have never seen a Leadfoot with the blue trim. Is that for the Recaro package?

What is "holdback"? I'm guessing the final number on the big invoice plus whatever dealer add ons, on that little vertical invoice is in fact the dealer's invoice? Or am I mistaken?

So the set up on the truck by the railroad requires no nothing to make it work?

If you do 20s, consider the 325/60R20 size. Looks like a 37, but not nearly as many fitment issues. Perch collars or Eibach springs and VERY minor trimming, depending on offset.

Here's our 2018 Lead Foot with 325/60R20 tires on VenomRex wheels.

Thanks for the option Nick! What are the offset on those wheels? I was debating on 35 vs 37 but this looks like the perfect compromise.

Same! I thought I was getting a good deal at 69k with 74k sticker....

Never managed to find a LF with the recaro seats in the US and I was trolling autotrader and cars.com for months. Test drove one in Canada and they seemed more common up there.
