Alot of guys that i've seen on here are running a 3 inch for more than a year with no issues.. Each truck is different. I went with the 2.5 auto spring..

I have large heavy tires.. 22 inch rockstars and 325/50/22(35) nitto trail grappler.. I only rubbed on the running board and lower rear of the wheel well.. Easy fix with the removal of running boards and a un-noticeable trim..

You may have to PM those 3 " guys and ask if they had any issues.. Mine is not a daily driver so it could be years before I notice any or no issues but i'm satisfied with the 2.5AS..

 

The spacer was on there when I bought the truck so I'm really not sure how long it's been on there I've had it for almost five months and I haven't had any problems with it.

 

2.5 Rough Country Leveling Kit 295/70r/17 Nitto Trail Grappler

 

2.5 Sky Jacker and 34's no rub what so ever...stock and aftermarket wheels.

 

Lax-is yours 4x4 or did you just get bigger rims?

 

yes it is 4x4

 

I went with a 2.5" from HBS and have no problems. I decided not to go with the 3" because I have heard of it putting too much strain on the front because it does change the angle so much. Plus with the 2.5" my front is slightly taller than the back now so the 3" would put it even higher. A suggestion i have, if you tow or have heavy loads in the bed, is adding a leaf to the back to help with sagging.

 

The 2.5" will probably make you more level, some people rune 3" some rune 2.5" some run 2". All in all, if you took a poll, most people are running the 2.5". Ive seen a lot of people talk about the cons of a 3" kit but never actually seen those results

 

if i have a 2wd with stock 15 rims and want to keep them and i want a 2.5" now and i was wondering what the best tire size would be i was looking at 33/12.5/15

 

You might rub with 33s id go closer 32s if you can
