I have an 05 4x4 and I was going to level it 2.5". My question is, for me to fit 35" tires, would I have to go with the 3" or would the 2.5" or 2" suffice? Some product sites like daystar and ready lift say that a 2" on a 04-08 4x4 will recommend 35's and they say that a 2" on a 04-08 2wd will recommend 33's. I'm getting conflicting reports and before I spend my money, I want to buy the right parts. In the end I want to fit 35's and I just don't know whether to purchase 2", 2.5", or 3". Someone please send me in the right direction. Thanks

 

2.5" Auto Spring front and then you could get an add a leaf or a rear lift block, and that will clear 35s on a wheel near factory backspacing. Get pictures up when you do it

 

2" will fit 35's but on stock rims and you will still get some rubbing at full lock.

 

go 2.5" they will fit with no rubbing at all. mine didnt even rub the upper control arm

 

because you ain't running stock rims.

 

I will be running the stock 18" rims. I just wanted to confirm which kit I should buy. Most likely the 2.5" or 3". I'll check both out.

 

When she's done, I'll post up pics for sure. Probably at least a week or two as I have to wait for the kit to be shipped, install it, get the tires, and then an alignment.

 

Now does the brand that I use matter much? I've seen 2.5" and 3" on ebay for around $50-$100. Also, would I have to have the speedometer recalibrated? If so, do I have to take that to a specialist, the dealer, is it something I could do (I'm very handy with my tools), or would I have to get a power programmer? And would I have to change the tranny shift points? Thanks

 

you will rub 35's at full lock, nothing major. dealers can't program a 35 inch tire, get yourself a tuner or calibration unit.

 

You will defidently have to have the speedo recaliberated. The shop that puts on your wheels/tires should be able to do it, and if they can't then I'd call around to find somewhere else to do it...
