Default 2.5" level kit, 17" wheels?
Guys, going to level my 07 xlt this weekend and am looking for recommendations for tires. I have 17" oem wheels and would like to keep them. Thanks

There one downfall is not being able to clear mud very well. The wells like to hold on to it. I'd say their a better trails tire. For mud I'd go nittos.

Nitto mud grapplers are awesome looking tires but there loud and don't last long IMHO but what mud tire really does

295/70/17 for size. As for tires, depends what kind of driving u do. Nitto Terra grapplers are a good all terrain tire that is a good value.

Do you want mud terrains or all terrains? You can fit up to a 315/70R17 on the stock rim

A 295x70x17 tire would be a great choice on a leveled 4x4
