Default 2" Leveling with 275/70/18?

I currently have 275/70/18 Duratrac on my stock FX4 Wheel (Stock Height)

I want to do a 2" leveling with a 3" block + a 1" wheel spacer but im afraid the tire are going to look too small.

does anyone have a similar setup that can share their experience or picture?

1" wheel spacer will equal about a +25mm offset for those that have aftermarket wheel.

Thanks

If you want level, go with a 2" and no additional rear block. The 275/70-18 will look good and not rub under any conditions. I would avoid those high-speed wheel disconnectors AKA: wheel spacers.

I gotta agree with PerryB on this. A 2" will look good with that tire size (~33.2). If you want to see something similar on stock wheels you can check out mine. I've got a 2" Readylift up front with no rear block and I'm running 305/65R18 (~33.4)

Keep in mind two that wheel spacers effect scrub radius also. just a thought...

I just got my truck a couple months ago and wanted to level it out but leave a little rake as well. After a ton of research I decided to go with adjustable Blistien 5100 shocks. I put them on the second from top notch and it is perfect, couldn't be happier. I'm running 275/75/18's and it looks great. I'll try to post some pics later.
