Ok, good to know.

I'll be taking my 305/65/18's off my 2012, so I'm glad they won't have a problem fitting. They rubbed slightly on the old truck.

Definitely let us know how it goes. I'm curious too what rims/tires you went with.

The lift/level height depends on personal preference, myself i like a 6inch lift on 35s. In the rear you should get airbags to keep the rear level depending on the weight your hauling.

With everyone talking about doing lifts and changing tires, do you guys think it will look alright to leave the factory rims and tires on a lariat sport with a 2" level on the front?

To level it, is it a 1 1/2" spacer or 2"? Do you need to do anything to the back or is that just if you are lifting it?

I wouldn't, but it's all personal preference. In my opinion, it leaves too much of a gap - you can still use your stock wheels, but you should at least put a bigger diameter tire on.
