Default Do i need a leveling?

Got my new wheel+ tire set. Guy who put 'em on insist on leveling. I've driven few miles and didn't feel like it need extra hight. Am i missing something? Tires are OEM sizes

If it's the same size you don't need it. Some people just don't like the looks of the rake, or they want larger tires.

As soon as you level you'll want bigger tires than the ones you just bought. Ask me how I know.

If you are happy with it, don't mess with it.

Take the rear blocks out and see if you like it.

you joking right? I do beach driving around here, so extra clearance is...ok. Thing is didn't want to spend extra money on leveling if i dont have to. Pretty happy with tire size and truck doesnt bother me as far for a look. I fo construction for 12 years and my eyes pick up unlevel things pretty wuick

Nope not joking. It'll take 20 minutes and it won't affect ground clearance of the axle. You'll still have rake, the back will just be down roughly 1.5". It doesn't cost anything and the ride quality won't be altered either.

I don't think you need it man.

What size wheels and offset are those (20x9 +18)?

They have a nice stance on your truck. Looks great!
