Default leveling kit without tire change-Look OK?

I was contemplating a 2" leveling kit for my FX4 and am uncertain how the tires and wheels will look after the change. anyone with w/pics or opinions?

Don't do it! I've seen it and it looks pretty bad IMO. Stock rims and tires look way too small when its leveled. Just save up to get it all done at once or do the tires first. I know the tire sticky above is really long but there's a bunch of pictures to look at.

Here's mine with stock 18s and winter tires same size as factory to give you an idea. I don't find it looks too bad, but I will have 20s and 33" tires for summer. (Btw it's a 2" ready lift leveling kit. )

Based on the picture above, I think it looks perfectly fine. Better than stock.

What forgot to add in was it all depends on what rims and tires your truck came with. Obviously the bigger the setup, the better it will look. But with the tires my truck came with, it would look horrible lol

Here's mine with level,add a leaf, and stock tires. I personally can't stand it with stock setup, and can't wait to get tires.

I thought my fx4 looked pretty cheesy while I waited a couple days for my tires to come in. I would wait until you are at least adding some meats to level the front, if keeping the stock tires and you want level pull the block from the rear and it looks much more proportional.
