Default Leveling kit and tires

I have 32 inch tires and I want to install a leveling kit. I'm thinking 2.5 inch in the front only or to go big and get the 3 inch front and 1 inch back leveling but keep the 32 inch tires. What's anyone's opinion on the look??

The look is not very good with stock tires.

I am running 2.5" in the front with a additional 1" block on top of factory block. Still has a little rake and I am running 33"X12.50" Mickey Thompson. I love the way it looks. But everyone is different.

Default Don't go with level kit!

Please guys start spending extra coin and lift trucks level kits are harder on your truck and not as nice as a lift!

^^^There are countless people on this forum that are running levels with no one complaining about issues with them. Issues can be had with aggressive levels that overly extend the CV joints, but that can be totally avoided by doing about a minute of research and buying smartly. Secondly is that some people dont like the look of a lift, cant afford one, or would just be too big for their situation. Not to mention there is a lot more to a lift that could go wrong. I'm not saying don't buy a lift at all because I personally like them but will probably never have one on this truck.

OP, stock tires look terrible on a level IMO. I had them for a while and didn't enjoy any of it. Depending on the level you decide you might be able to tuck 35's if you are in to that kind of thing. And as mentioned above, don't do anything 3" or higher at the risk of putting way too much stress on your CV axles.

Thanks. Here are a few that I have on my phone. Will try and remember to get more tonight after work. The first one is a before pic. And the last one was just some fun. I also put air bags in the rear for towing. Have a 34' bumper mount that weighs a couple LBS.
