No I just want to level it. This is purely for aesthetic value. I live in central Florida and only make a yearly trip to the Blue Ridge and even then I make it up the mtn with the stock setting I have now. I just love the beefy mean look of a truck sitting higher with bigger tires.
Would the LT 325/60r18 be the correct size I need for 33 inch tires if I have 265/60r18 now?

That would be over 34.5".

Try 285/65/18 =32.59" or 285/70/18 =33.71" or 265/75/18 =33.65"

Very informative thread, and just to jump in here I'm doing a similar setup with my truck next week and I'll post before and after pictures.

I've got a '13 King Ranch 2wd that came stock with 275/55/20 wheels. Taking it to the shop and putting a 1.5" auto spring level on the front and a 1" rear block on the back. Ordered new tires since mine are on their last leg that are Revo 2s 275/60/20 (about an inch taller than stock) and will get those installed at the same time.

From talking to the shop guy he said putting the 1.5" spacer on the front would put the truck right at level, but from the millions of threads I've searched through, keeping a little bit of rake looks better than questioning whether the front is higher than the back. Not to mention towing purposes of having the rake.

Here are some helpful sites I used to decide on my tires and level:

https://tiresize.com/calculator/
Just type in your tires and compare with what other people are running.

http://www.consumerreports.org/produ...ings-overview/
Tire ratings.

Let me know if you have any questions and people feel free to correct me if I'm way off. I'm no expert, just read a ton of **** on here about different levels and tires.
