That's probably about like what I'll do. I'm thinking 295/70r18 Trail Grapplers. Getting the 2.5" leveling kit on tomorrow and will probably try to get about 10k more miles out of the stock tires if possible.

I saw your question on Dave's "members build" page the other day, but no reply from him. By the way your truck looks BAD *****!!! How or what did you do for the trimming? I installed the AS 2.5" from and 3" block in the back a couple months ago, and am looking to do a similar set up with wheels and different tires. His post was hard to understand what exactly needed to be trimmed. I appreciate any help you can give me, Thanks!

Talk to the shop. They gave me $125 for each of my tires with about 8500 on them. I got the level/alignment and new tires all for just about $700.

leveling mine here in the next few weeks. So torn between 2.5 or 1.5 level. I don't want to be riding with my nose up, but I don't want to level with 1.5 and be .5 inches from level either. ugh

If you get a leveling kit you should receive the rear blocks as well... I did 2.5" in the front and 3" rear. (Rear has 1.5" blocks from factory so your taking those out and only going up 1.5") you will have a slight rake towards the front which you probably want but it's ever so slight. If you put a dirt bike in the back it's pretty much level. I like it because I haul light stuff and I don't want the *** to be sagging when I have my bike in the back or boat trailer attached.

I got a 2" Pro Comp leveling kit with stock rear. Sits a little lower in the front but hardly noticeable at all. I love it!

And that picture doesn't do it much justice. I'd like to get some more pics of it later today.

What offset are you running here? What did you have to trim? This looks like the perfect setup!!! Thanks.

Hey man I have an 09 f150. And I was wondering exactly what leveling kit did you buy because your set up is exactly what I want mine to look like. Thanks.
