I'm running a 2.5" level and stock rear blocks with 295/75/18. No rubbing and no trimming.

I used to have 295/70R18 tires with a Bilstein Leveling Kit set at 2.25". No rub until I put 1.5" spacers and even then it was minimal. Filled in wheel wells great and looked meaty.

How was your mileage? What engine and gears? Little concerned it might be too heavy. I’ve got the 3.5 and 3.55 gears.

I have 3.55 gears as well with the 5.0. My mileage only dropped about 1 or so. Not very noticeable plus I got it right back when I installed my tuner. I averaged about 17 mpg.

Also note that those were relatively aggressive tires. They are MasterCraft Courser CXTs. I got pretty good mileage out of them. If you went with more of an All-Terrain tire, you would fit the same size a little better.

Ok so I will do the 2 inch leveling kit and 275/70-R18 tire bf Goodrich KO2. I would also like to run spacers. How big of a spacer can I get before rubbing, I would prefer it to not rub at all.

^ Ridge Grapps are an awesome tire ! ride quiet, great in rain and snow so far this winter and no signs of wear ( mix hwy/cty ) 6000 miles so far.
