Default Leveling Kit

So I have a 99 4.6 2wd. I don't like the way all the 4x4s at school make her look small. haha. I either plan on buying a 6" lift in a year(have to wait cause extra 2k for rims and tires) or buying a 4x4

Anyways for now I want to raise the front, would a 2.5" level kit make my 265/70 or 75 R16s to small? Pics? They are just stock tires

i would save your money and buy a 4x4 man.

a leveling kit may make your stock tires look a little small but it wont look horrible.

A leveling kit will give you the same spacing as you have around the rear wheels. You can go bigger, but you don't have to.

Thanks guys, guess I'll go for it.

Where do you think the best place is for a 4wd lower valence with fogs? I am looking for lowest price
