Tires and level Pictures
I just ordered a lariat super crew 6.5' bed 4x4. I plan on putting a level on, but I'm not sure about tires yet. I don't know if I should stick with stock size (275/65R18) (32.4 in.) in a mud terrain. Or go to something like 275/70R18 (about 33.3") I don't want to lose too much handling and performance, but I want to nice clean look. Anyone with an screw 6.5' bed with tires and/or level please post. Other trims would still help. Please post level size and tire size with pictures. Thank you.

Level kit
I'll get ya some pictures tomorrow.
I just had my leveling kit install and 275/70/18- Goodyear Territorys, on stock rims.
So all in all it's about three inchs up front and one in the back.
I did take pics with measuring tape before the install.....I'll take the same pic tomorrow to compare. And also a side view.
I can tell ya one thing....It looks way better now---Like a real truck..LOL
Pictures tomorrow for sure.

Blamecanada, your truck looks great, I really like it. Have you noticed any change in performance with the larger tires, MPG, Power? What level kit did you put on it?

Level Kit
Here is a EBAY number--130363214681--this is the exact kit i have install...bought from these guys.
As for performance-- I can actually notice the tire size. Nothing brutal, but can feel it during acceleration.
MPG-- I'm sure it'll drop a bit--Havn't had this done long enuff to notice,I''ll update after a few tanks.
Handling--nothing noticed.
Noise-- Tires are a little louder in the cab.
All in all i'd do it all again in a heart beat.
I do use my truck for lots of outdoor things--So having these things just make it more off-road reliable, I just cant handle driving in the bush with car tires.
Good luck in your search for up grades.
