i currently have 305/45s on my truck but im going to get a 2 in front leveling kit, and was wondering if there were bigger tires, preferably all terrains that i could fit under there?

Ty

did you search google?

ya i just searched and found a cooper zeon xst 325-40-22 that a guy at 4 wheel parts said would fit with the leveling kit. I've seen leveling kits online for like $135 but the guy at 4 wheel parts said theirs was $675 installed b/c he had to put $90 balancers on each tire so that it would stay straight. Is that just BS and just trying to sell me something I dont need?

Ty

That is all bs, you can get the spacer kit for 90 bocks, and get it installed for under 200.

and maybe alignment for another 100

I would stay FAR away from that shop

how much taller would 325-40-22s be than 305-40-22s?

06f150lariat

same height...here is how it works

325 = the width of the tire
40 = the height of profile (from the lip of the rim, to the top of the tread (the sidewall))
22 = the size of the rims...

i bought the autospring 2.5" leveling kit for my 06 150, and my buddy n i installed it in about 2 hours...all u need is a jack, some jack stands, an impact wrench (to make things quicker) a 1-1/16" socket, a 30 mm socket, some other common wrenches and what not, and lots of patience.....other than that, its fairly simple, and you will save yourself money for sure....as long as u dont nething up....

haha you beat me to the explanation....Nice!

And 675 for a leveling kit is WAY high... i would look around at other shops before you go back.

The 325/40/22 would be .64" taller than the 305/40/22, or about 5/8".

The 40 refers to the % of the tire width (325 or 305 in this case) that your sidewall is. Using the first tire as the example here's the formula for calculating any metric sized tire into inches so you can easily tell how wide and tall one is compared to another (remember 1"= 25.4mm):

1.) 325mm divided by 25.4mm = width of tire in inches. (12.795")
2.) Take your 12.795 width x 40% = height of each sidewall. (5.12")
3.) Now just add up your heights measuring from ground to top of tire: (sidewall+rim+sidewall) or 5.12" + 22" + 5.12" = 32.24" total tire height.

So the first tire would have a sidewall height of 5.12".
The second tire would have a sidewall height of 4.80".

First tire....... 5.12" + 22" + 5.12" = 32.24"
Second tire... 4.80" + 22" + 4.80" = 31.60"

32.24" - 31.60" = .64" or 5/8" difference in height of your two tires.
