Default Suggestions for Tire size and leveling kit

I have an 09' Lariat with 20" OEM aluminum rims. I want to add bigger tires, possibly 32" or 33", and a 2" leveling kit. Any suggestions on tire size or brand of leveling kit?

If your keeping you stock wheels you can go with a 305 which is a 33" and a 2" level...level kits are all the same find one with the best price

Funny how many miss the sticky. Good info. As for price simply shop around and run searches for whatever kit you are looking into.

I did the level with the Daystar 2" Kit. I went with 305/50/20 but their were too small (32"). Gas mileage suffered as well. I'd recommend a 285/55 or 275/60 for a 33" tire. Maybe even a 275/65/20 for a little bigger. There's a thread on here for that size tire.

Have you checked into our leveling kits yet? Not all leveling kits are created the same, our design offsets the strut to provide coil clearance on the upper A-arm during droop travel. We have seen other designs that ignore this so the coil can interfere with the arm.

You can clear a 33x12.50 (305/55R20) tire with your OE rims.

305 is the width in mm. I have a 275 and it's a 33"
