Default leveling kit, before and after

finally had my leveling kit installed
got a little bit into the project and realized I didn't have the patience or tools to properly deal with this mod. So I called up Firestone and it was 223 for and alignment and install. The weird thing is that the space from the top of the hub cap is 20.5"s except the back left side is 21.75". Does anyone think it's possible that the rear leaf spring are less worn on that side?

oh well, i'm happy either way
AS 2" leveling kit $70
install and align $223.70
total $293.70

before


after

Whats the biggest size tire can ou go. I have a leveling kit but waiting to get my new tires before i lift it. I want to fill the space a little. I dont like the look of lifted trucks with tin tires.

you saying I got tiny tires?
and 33" leveled if you have 2wd
otherwise a 4wd can clear 35s
some crazy people have put 37s but its not really recommended if you get what I'm saying

No I didnt say you had tiny tires. Im just saying like the people that leave there stock tire size after levaling it. I also have 285/70/17 on my truck without the leveling kit. I love the way it looks raked. Lower in the front and little higher in the back. Thats the only thing keeping me from installing my leveling kit. Your truck is clean looking. I love the stock wheels.
