Default 35x12.5R20 and 2.5" leveling kit installed!

Okay so I finally got around to installing a Rough Country 2.5" leveling kit and some 35x12.5R20 Nitto Trail Graps on my 2007 Lariat. My brother-in-law and I installed two the other day, one on mine the other on his 2007 FX4. I'm loving everything about it and have been driving it all day with nothing bad to report back. Although it might rub a bit at full lock, I haven't done this yet. It cleared nicely with no trimming and is driving great. I am thinking of installing something in the rear to bring it up a bit but am not sure at the moment. What do you guys think?

Why does the white truck look taller than yours?

That was before the tires but after the leveling kit. I was running 275/55R20 he was running 275/70R18.

Looks good, I just had a 2.5" with 3" rear blocks installed on my 08'. I really like the way your brothers sits. How much more did you gain with installing the grapplers?

I haven't put a tape to it but I'd say about 4 additional inches.

Is that what your figure you gained all together?

I thinks so. The kit itself made the truck body sit a little higher but the tires added real additional height. I could be wrong about how much though...
