Every other place I've seen says 33"'s with their leveling kits, except here

I like the looks, specs, and price of this....if it's all true. I'd be looking at the one with a bigger rear block and shocks(so I guess it's not really a leveling kit, more of just a sissy lift kit, but hey...I like it and I actually use my truck.....no way a 6" kit would fly loading and unloading)

 

Nevermind, that crap is plastic. Just ordered a Hell Bent Steel kit, I'll source a rear block/u-bolts locally.

 

It all depends on what rims you are going to run. I'm with you on the lift, I did the 2.5" on the front and replaced the rear block with a 3". I'm running a 35" tire on aftermarket rims with a 5.35" backspacing. Any lower backspacing pushes the whole set up out and thus causes rubbing. I do have some minimal rubbing when in reverse.

 

That's odd....only in reverse? Wonder why......anyway, I'm planning on running the stock split spoke 18"s for now. I know I don't want a big knobby mud tire, something like the General Grabber 2 or BFG MT looks nice to me. I don't want or need swampers......this truck might see grass or gravel.....never mud. I'll admit, just another pavement pounder doin' it for the looks.

Thanks for the info on the backspace.

 

I have the General Grabber 2 on. And I must say I have been very impressed with the tire. You should be fine running the stock rims.

 

35's will fit with a 2.5" kit, but you need the stock rims to keep the backspacing tight. I'm running the stock 20's with 325/60/20 but they are a wider rim than the stock 18's. So you may have to choose the width of your tire to match the rim. I needed to do some minor trimming on the front plastic and I'm using 1/4" spacers. This setup rubbed a bit on the upper control arm on my 2007, but doesn't rub at all on my 2010.

The Autospring kits sold on Ebay are hard to beat for value.

ok third try... Did you notice a change in performance. Had an 02 had to go to 456s. I have a 10 fx4 wit 373s now. I expect the dropoof isn't as bad more gears plus high rearend. Also wit 3 rear blocks did you reuse stock shocks. How do you handlenow? Also whered you pick up the 1/4 spacers. Thx. And ur truck is sweet

 

No real change in handling or suspension performance. It is a truck not a Porsche after all. Yes, there is a performance decrease but I'll withhold judgement on that until I get my SCT/VMP tune. I have the 3.73's too. My 07 had 3.55 and it was worse but still acceptable with the Grypon tune. Most of it is due to the poor tranny shifting from the increase tire size, the pcm/tcm is a bit confused. I reused the stock rear shocks, I haven't noticed any ill effects but I might check out some longer shocks. The blocks are smaller in the 2010 trucks so the 3" block extends it a bit more. The 1/4" spacers are cheap ones, my tire shop threw them in with the tires. Some guys have balancing/vibration issues using spacers, but I've been lucky on both my 07 and 10.

 

sweet.thanks for your input!

 

who cares if it will fit.

we all want to know if it will blend
