Stay away from the 3" leveling kits, go with a 2 or 2 1/2" autospring or the 5100 series Bilstein leveling shocks. These will cost a good bit more than the autospring kit but worth it. A 295x70x17 which is close to 34 inches tall would look great on your truck and fill in the wheelwells more than the 33's. Just my opinion!

Hey thanks for the mods sugestions.The reason why i am going with the 33inch tires cause i will be getting them free.Incase your wondering,yes their brand new.Never been driven on yet.buddy is going to write them off as wrong brand sent.They are sport king(bf-goodrich makes them)33inch all terain tires and have one hell of an agrassive tread patern.So i cant pass up free right,lol I was thinking about a 2.5 leveling kit to.Just wanted to get some more input.Yours does look bad *** thoe,nice agressive look,i like that.

The general idea around here is a big no no towards the 3"...I bought a 3" and quick returned it for a 2.5". Autosprings is the brand i went with...I have not put it on yet though :-( waiting till i get about 12000 miles so the alignment cost is justified...Wish i had buddies in the tire industry, i could sure use a set of 33" tires :-( They dont even have to be free, i just cant bring my self to spend 350 a piece...Maybe $100 lol.
