Default Level/Tires - What do you guys think?

I've had this truck maybe a month, and I absolutely love it. I want to level it out and eventually get bigger tires, but the 275/65/18 tires that came with it are basically new so I don't want to spend the money on a new set right now. My question is, do you think it would look fine if I put a 1.5" leveling kit on with the stock size tires?

I put a jack under it last night and raised it just over 1.5" to see what it would look like. What do you guys think? (My driveway is not level)

STOCK



WITH JACK UNDER IT (1.5" level)

Nice truck!
1.5" or 2" would do it if you're looking for level or close to it.

Thanks, I think I'll go ahead and pull the trigger on the 1.5" level. I was just worried that these tires would look too small with it

Don't level it until your ready for tires. I did the same thing and leveled it without tires. I thought it looked goofy and only made it about 1 week and did tires.

X2, I had put on a spacer initially and she rode like poopy... I saved up and went with Bilstein 5100s all the way around, and I absolutely love them, nice ride and it still drives like a truck should, I swear by them, my .02

It's hard because my driveway isn't level, but I think it's gonna give me the look I'm looking for. I hope so, I don't wanna drop the money for a set of bigger tires right now

Truck looks great with those stock tires and however u end up choosing to level it, I think it will give it a nice proud stance
