Default Leveled 2wd Question

Morning All,

Im fixing to pull the trigger on leveling my 2wd lariat and i been looking on the leveling kit threads but i havent seem to find what im aiming for. Im thinking about going with the Auti Spring 2.5" spacer up front and add it to the 1.5" Add a Leaf since i tow my boat and UTV on a regular basis. Initially i planned on running 295/55/20 but i wonder if i can fit a 295/60/20 or 285/60/20 instead without having to mess with crashbars or much trimming. Ill be running my factory 20" wheels also.

Any insight on this set up.

Thanks

A 295/60/R20 is a 34" tire and with a 2.5" lift it should fit. I have 275/60/R20s on mine but I only have a Bilstein level set at 1.75 up front. A 295/60/R20 would not fit in my case, I tried. Actually Discount Tire tried for me. They were great.

I'm actually glad I went with the 275/60/R20 because it is a much lighter tire (and cheaper) and I didn't have to dick with recalibrating the speedo. My speedometer is dead nuts on right now.
