I used a 2.5" leveling kit from Daystar for the front and 3" block kit from Truxxx for the back. I did have to do quite a bit of trimming and have no rubbing yet on smooth surfaces. We'll see what happens when I get into some rougher stuff.

Here are some pics (I know its dirty, giving it a bath today):















Looks great. Is there a chance you could measure the actual height of the tire as it is on the truck? I know what the spec sheet says, Im just wondering what the real world height is.

Just went out and measured it. It is about 34 inches from pavement to the top of the tread. Maybe a little bit more in the center of the tire. That of course is with the weight of the truck compressing the tire a bit. I did not get a chance to measure before it came off of the lift to see what the uncompressed measurement was. Hope that helps man. Thanks for checkin it out.

Sorry dude, only one thumbs up.

Guys thanks for the constructive criticism. I guess I am a little old school when it comes to this but I just think white letters out looks classic and timeless. I might be in a minority but I can't help it =). Now if my truck was completely murdered out, it might be a different story but I like it like it is. But like I said, thanks for the opinions and it means alot that you guys like the setup overall.

One thumbs up is better than none at all. Thanks man.

Yeah, dude. Go for it. They are totally worth it. Nothing like 'em IMO.
