Here is my 2012 2wd RCSB with a 2.5" AS spacer on the front with no block in the rear. On raptor beadlocks wrapped with 305/70/17 Nitto Terra Grappler G2's. Absolutely no rub whatsoever, no trimming needed!
Nice.
Do you have any shimmy or vibration with the level?
1fitty..no shake, shimmy or vibrations. It aligned really easy also. The 2.5" AS spacer has an offset design so it gave me a good amount of clearance between the coil spring and the controll arm. I habe yet to get the upper arm to contact the spring. The truck was stock height on some black 24" boss 330s and this new set up rides much better!

I like it - clean and tasteful...
I guess I'll be saving for a level on my '13 STX, not sure on the wheel/tire combo yet.
The Raptor wheels I have seen on eBay are way too much for my budget though...900.00 on up.
They're nice but I can get a complete w/t set for that.
My first post here but have been reading for some time researching what I want. Finally made my mind up. Putting my '11 KR in the shop today, getting prom bushwacker pocket flares 2.5" AS front and rear level and 305/55 r20 Nitto trails on the factory rims. Probably going to use some 1/4" wheel spacers just to fill the larger flares out a little. How do you guys think this will look?

I am far from and expert, but that will probably rub on stock wheels (+44 offset).... the control arms, not the wheel wells. Check out Mange's post at the top of the page and how close that same tire size is with a +35 offset. I read that it might be too large of a tire for stockers on here somewhere.
Edit: Spacer will help though. Edit Edit: You might want to consider bigger spacers to push the wheels out farther for the Bushwackers. The stock wheels will be significantly sunk in under the truck with the bushwackers on there as well. Off the top of my head... 1.25 or 1.5" bora's probably.

The difference between the 44mm & 35mm wheels if my math is right is approximately .35"- the .25" spacer is only a .1" difference and his first pic appears to be at full lock. I hope this is right and I don't rub however I am concerned that you're absolutely right about the look under those flares. I would really like to avoid spacers any larger than 1/4". I've debated new wheels but haven't found any yet that I like better than the stock KR wheels on this paint scheme. Solid color trucks are much easier to wheel shop for.

The 305's on factory wheels will fit fine with no rub. I wouldn't do the flares unless doing a lift and aftermarket wheels that made the tired stick out.
Flares with stock wheels look bad in my opinion
