Seems good. They all seemed similar. Figured I would go with steel for the strength. Price was good too. The tires are 295 60 R20s trail graps on a 9in wheel with a +18 offset. I had them on my last truck so there a few years old.

I am looking at doing a 2" Autospring level and am planning to do it myself, is it absolutely necessary to loosen the A-arm bolts and remove the bolts from the strut to re-install? If it is, is there a certain torque spec to re-install those(as well as any of the other bolts removed)? I watched the video which is great but didn't see any torque specs listed. Thanks in advance.

I didn't not loosen the lower a arm bolts on one side. I found it just as easy to work with as when I loosened the bolts on the first side. not sure on torque specs. the factory bolts were on there pretty good but the rest of the bolts were not extremely tight. No breaker bar needed.

How does that fit? Trimming? Rubbing issues?

Been looking at this tire as well. How loud is it? Worried the MT will sing to much.

Need recommendation: 2 in autospring or 2.5 rough country. No plans on replacing rear block, just want to level and would prefer rake to being nose high.. I have 20 in wheels and stock goodyears for at least a couple years as well until I can replace. Does the .5 inch really stress the suspension more than a 2? Thanks for the help

I will be installing the 2.5" leveling kit with 33" Atturo Trail Blade MT on 22x10 Hostile Switchblades tomorrow. I will post detailed pics so everyone can see how much trimming was needed.
