Default Pic Request & Tire Help: 2" level & 34s

Hey guys, as the title said I'm looking for help with a picture of a 2" level and 34s. I am worried the 2" won't be enough lift as I hate the factory take, but at the same time I have concerns with letting my front end last with a 2.5" kit. I want Togo mud terrains around 34x11r20, and am thinking the only size for this would be 275/65s. Anyone have any experience with this tire size? Is it too small?

Thanks for any help

I recently installed icon 2.5 coilovers with a tad over 2 maybe 2.25 but there is still a rake that I like. Tires are Cooper sst pro in the 295/60r20 and zero rub. I'll get some pics tomorrow for you.

this would be my ideal setup, just can't stomach the cost of the coil overs!

are coilovers worth the $1000+ instead of a 2" spacer?

I hear you there...I was on a budget that's why I went with RC 2" level kit with 295/70/18 = 34.3 x 11.6 Nitto G2's instead of going with 20's for more sidewall and they fit fine...my trucks more of a pavement queen and drives and handles just fine...maybe someday down the rode I'll go to coil overs....I don't know much about 275/65/20's = 34.1x10.8 except their close to what I'm running with a +18 offset...

For me personally, I say no. A 2" leveling spacer does not change the ride quality of your truck, just gives you that extra height for looks/bigger tires. But my truck is a pavement queen so I don't need anything fancy.

If only I could find that size for a 20" rim. I am leaning towards 275/65 right now due to costs. I can save almost $80 / tire going that direction, which is hard to pass up.

Rc 2in front 1 in rear.....

I agree the stock ride is good, even with the 2in kit if you stay on the pavement.

I just put on rebuilt raptor takeoff shocks in the rear of my truck and now feel the difference off road with the 2in spacer in front. I just bought 2.5 icons with upper ar,s so the truck is more balanced on desert roads.

I'm running 285.75.18 equal to 35x11.5x18 Toyo at2

I tow trailers occasionally so I like the rake

Cool. So you're clearing 35s on 2" in the front only?

That would be ideal but I was concerned about MPG loss & fitting them (i want to run muds)
