I got a 5inch lift on clifford and my tires still rub if i turn a corner hard idk if they would rub more with a leveling kit or not. But lifts are usually expensive with rims and tires and the kit and labor it was close to 5k lol and leveling kits usually look pretty good in my opinion.

im starting to lean toward the leveling kit. I mean its the same size tires either way but i think it would be alright to start out with the leveling kit. Maybe the 6 inch can come later. we shall see. My local shop quoted me 2300 for the leveling kit install allignment, and the 35 inch tires. MTZ's, ATZ's, or procomp tires mounted and balanced. i priced the tires and they are almost 400 each./.

If you are in any way mechanicly inclined you can do the leveling kit yourself. Buy the one from HBS for 70.

have you guys ever heard and have any experiance with these tires? 35/12.50/20 Federal Couragia. i have found a set for under 1000 bucks wich is great. I read some guys talking about them on the dodge diesel forum and they say good things about them. They say they only last about 25 to 30k but for that price compared to other is worth it i think..
