Default Leveling kit?

I was wondering if a 3" leveling kit it the front will make the front tires tip? Or would I have to go with a 2.5"? Let me know what you have done to knows. Thanks

What do you mean by tip? I just put a 2.5 on my 08 and it really stretched things to the max. I would not go higher than a 2.5. alignment is required after install.

What I mean by tipped, if you look at the front of the truck do the tires look like they are tipped out like when the ball joint on a old ford truck?

ofcoarse they will!! you are changing the angel of the control arms when adding the lift kit you will need to have the truck realigned.the tip you are refering to is your camber and it will be out of wack which will cause tire wear very fast you will require a alignment with either of the 2 sizes of leveling kits good luck bro
