Default leveling kit

i have a 07 1/2 ton and would like to install a leveling kit, but unsure of which one. i just want the truck to sit level after it settles. i've seen 1.5 and 2" just curious what the rest of you have found. What size of tire will i be able to run with the leveling kit after install?

Put a tape measure on your truck and see what it'll take to make yours level. My 2" leveling kit raised my truck exactly 2" so at least the Auto Spring kit does what is advertised.

I'm not sure if this is any help, but I've got the same truck and after reading most of the posts on this board about leveling kits I've decided to go with the 2.5 kit.

As far as the tire fit....go here:

After my install (HBS 2.5") I went ahead and had an add-a-leaf to the rear because the front was slightly higher than the back. I didnt like having the back end lower. So, I took it to a spring shop and they put in an extra leaf to give it the stance I wanted.
