How big can I go

Hey guys what is up, new to the game and need some help before I start handing out money. I have an 08 super crew and I'm going to put a 2.5" level kit on the front, what is the biggest size tire I can fit under the truck with 18's.
I found some Baja mtz 33"13.5x18 but I don't know if they will fit under the truck
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS

if its a 2wd, i think you will have to trim a little off the valence... its not hard to do...
im not totally certain on this tho..

well I dont see that you have said or not, but if the 18's are stock rims then the 13.5 is gone to be to wide to mount, most places dont like mounting 12.5 width tires on stock rims but they will usually.'

But if these are wider than stock wheels, dont' listen to what I said.

I'm pretty sure since you have a 2wd they wont fit very well. you will just have a lot of rubbing.

those tires will not fit if you use your stock rims


they will only fit if you use aftermarket rims that push the tire more to the outside of the truck.


and yes, a 33" to 34" tire will fit a 4x2 leveled 2.5". it's mostly just a rim selection game

With an '08 Screw, the 2.5" leveling kit will make the rear look/be lower.

Looking at getting a 2in leveling kit off ebay by NCD customs has anyone heard of them before. I read up on the part, it doesn't look like a rip off. any advice.

Make sure that whatever leveling kit you get is made for a 2wd.

I got the NCD leveling kit straight from NCD. It looks like a good solid product. Easy and straight forward directions.
