Default Few mod ideas to my new 2011 Screw FX4 Eco!

Hey guys, I have been doing a little research, but basically i want to do a few simple mods yet to my truck to make i pop a little more. I would like to do a leveling kit and throw some bigger tires on my stock oem 20's. Seen other rides with this done and looks sharp. How big can i go w/o rubbing? I really like the trail grapplers. Additionally would like to get some updated headlights (smoked) and a grill to cover the gaping hole for my intercooler. I have already put nerfs, tonneau cover, and tinted it. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'd put on some 275x65x20's (34x11x20) TrailGrappler's that will fit easily on the stock wheel's with a 2 inch leveling kit. No rubbing and not too bad of a performance and mileage drop.

Get it done by a professional and you shouldn't have any problem's. This is my second leveled truck and no problem's so far.

I have a question. Do they make 3 inch leveling kits for a 2010 4x4 screw? Talked to a guy with a 2007 I believe and he said he had a 3 inch level kit. I thought it was a 4 inch lift at first.

Yes, I believe they do; however at that point you are adding a lot of stress to your components. You will already be nose high with just a 2.5" up front and no modifcations to the rear, so I dont see the need for a 3". If you want more lift then just the level (2" like I did or even adding a block in back to keep rake) then go with a rancho 4" suspension lift or any 6" lift as well. Just be prepared to spend the bigger bucks for that. That might be a project down the road for myself when i win the lottery haha and want to go bigger!!
