Default Level kit???

I have an 06 lariat, can't decide if I should just get a 2" kit to even it out or get a 4" and put some blocks in the back. How big of tires can u go with just the 2" level?

I have a 2.5" leveling kit. And it looks nice. I think for tires you can fit 33's. also if you do a lot of heavy hauling I only recommend a 2" i can send you a pic of what its like. If you like.

Also they claim you can fit 35's with a 2.5" level. I think that will require some trimming. And maybe a re-gearing also. Personally, When I get new rubber im going to get something in the 33-34" range, not sure exactly which size or brand.

If you can put one up that would be great. I just want to know if it will lift the front more, then I'd have to lift the back to equal it out. I just want an even level.

I was looking at the wrong thing lol you guys are right. I'll probably go with 2" so it's even and I don't have to do any work on the back

You need to measure the distance from the ground to the rear fender well and then measure the front as well and find your difference. Each truck is going to be different. The 2.5" kit worked perfect on my 07. This is a 33.4x12.8x18 (325/60/18) nitto terra grappler on it.
