Default Fx2 Level with stock tires??

I have a 2011 fx2 screw with the 18in rims, I want to level it, 1.5 or 2 inches. But scared it will make the little Michelins look even smaller. I eventually will get bigger tires but just waitin it out till I really need them. Has anyone done this? Good or bad idea? Thanks

I'm in the same boat as you. Same wheels and tires that are almost new and can't see buying new ones yet. I've already bought the daystar budget boost but haven't installed it and am considering selling it just because I believe it will make them look small. Maybe someone will post up some pics of 2wd level with stock tires.

I dropped the rear end of my truck 2". I also have the 18" wheels and I think it looks great. I can get a pick of it on here tomorrow. I'm at work with my feet propped up so I can't get a pic till in the morning.

I replaced my stock pirelli's with stock sized terra graps at 1200 miles... I got a leveling kit but haven't installed it as I will want to get bigger tires if I put the level in.

Don't do it until you are ready to change tires. (Or keep the factories as spares)

Yea that's what I was afraid of haha. If you have the pirellis, I'm assuming you have the 20s, even that wouldn't look bad with a level with stock tires. The Michelins that come with the 18s are just so small and I agree, I think a level shouldn't come till bigger tires are needed...unless someone post a pic that proves me wrong.

My wife has a '10 2wd Lariat with 18's and the same Michelin tires. I'll be leveling it and adding bigger wheels soon. After the level is on I'll snap a shot of truck with baby tires and level before driving to the tire store.

It doesn't look that bad, I could live with it until getting new tires, how much lift in front?

Ok that would be great! Thanks, I just want either a 1.5 or 2 in spacer. Definitely don't want it nose high, just something to get a little more ground clearance and less rake.
