Default Level help

Gonna be putting 20" black rockstars with 33" trail grapplers on my truck. Which is the best level to get for the front of the truck. Any advise on some. Not looking to spend a ton on the level. It should be either 2 or 2.5 inches I believe. Thanks for any help

I have 20"s wrapped in 33"s as well.... 2.5" HBS level put me perfectly leveled

Level is under $100 and of course you can install yourself for free labor or pay a shop 1-2 hours labor and you MUST get an alignment afterwards.

Here's the pic of how my truck sits with that setup, I can take a side picture later after work if you'd like.

How long do they take to settle? I'm at two years with mine and still hasn't settled any. Just wondering where you guys get this information?

Op, What year is your truck?
