1. A downhole tool for use in a wellbore, the downhole tool comprising:
a cone comprising:
a distal end; a proximate end; and an outer surface,
an expansion sleeve slidingly engaged with the outer surface; and
a lower sleeve proximate with the expansion sleeve,
wherein in a run-in configuration the cone is not engaged with the lower sleeve, but after setting the downhole tool to a set configuration, the cone is engaged with the lower sleeve,
wherein the lower sleeve comprises an inner recess configured to provide an interference or tolerance fit with a cone tip end when the downhole tool is in the set configuration, and
wherein setting of the downhole tool to the set configuration results in expansion of the expansion sleeve, but the downhole tool remains free to move or be moved to engage a profile of a surrounding tubular in the wellbore.
