Got the leveling kit comming next week.Just ordered it today actually.I did find some 33inch tires on tire rack.com.Total for 4 tires shipped was $632.00.My budy will mount and balence them at his shop for free after hours of course,lol.Doesnt seem like a bad price after all every place i went round here they wanted almost 800bucks total.The tires that i have comming also are not some knockoff brand either like i thought for s cheap price,firestone destination a/t.Also has nice a agressive tread patern so i couldnt pass it up,lol Hey if you know of something cheaper by all means bro let me know,lol.

The 285's will fit without the kit, but it looks better with it.
