I just had my leveling kit and tires put on and am really happy with the turnout.

Specs:
2012 FX4 EB w/ stock 20" wheels
Autospring 2" level w/ rear blocks
285/65/20 BFG AT/KO. (~34.5 in)

Turnout;
- Meaty without being "too much"
- ~2mpg loss from the larger/heavier tires
- absolutely no rubbing as of yet at full lock
- ride quality is a little stiffer from the E rated tires, but is still nice in my opinion. The truck does feel a little higher in terms of center of gravity, but again, not bad

On a side note, I did a level kit install (front only) in my 2004 screw with no issues. Tried this one myself in the garage and couldnt manage to get the spring back in there without spring compressors. Due to a tight family timeline, I took it to a local shop the next morning to get installed. $300 to do the level (front and rear), $75 for an alignment and $65 to mount/balance the new tires. ...awesome deal? - not a steal, but they did decent work and most importantly, did it on a moments notice. They did scratch the crap out of one of the wheels, but agreed to make it right.

PICS:

Very happy! Thanks for all the previous posts for inspiration! Let me know what you think!

Looks awesome! The tire size is perfect, large but not too much.

I ran into the same thing when doing my leveling kit. I sat there for 3 hours swearing and throwing my tools. Then I realized I could use the scissor jack. I placed it inbetween the lower control arm and the frame to push the lower control arm down. I was easily able to get the shock assembly back in.

love the look man, i've had that tread on all of my rigs for 10 years.

i've got 18 inch rims so it's gonna be a bit cheaper in the long run for rubber.

but as for the leveling kit.... why only the front?

How much for the tires and kit combo? Also does ur truck still fit in ur garage?

Thanks, guys! I did the front AND rear 2" kit from Autospring. The level kit was around $185 or so.

I paid $1,548 shipped from discount tire direct with the lifetime warranty for four tires.

Now I just need to figure out how to run a somewhat similar size spare.

+1 to does it still fit in the garage?

SD27

Height-wise it fits in the garage just fine, but we have a small garage so I don't park in there anyway.

lookin good!

Pictures really don't do it justice! I'll take some measurements for actual lift results from this kit for anyone who may be thinking of doing the 2" vs 2.5" AS kit.
