My michilins have finally ran out of rubber,I want to put a 2 inch front leveling kit & would like to no how large a tire I can install,and a decent leveling kit to buy.
THANK'S
JOE

 

What wheels are you going to be using?

 

18 in

 

Stock or aftermarket?

 

stock

 

285/65r18, 295/65r18 or somewhere around there. Whatever metrically converts over to around a 33-34 x 11-11.50ish or so would fill it out nicely.

 

appreciate the help,I was hoping to put 33's.don't care if it sticks out a little planning on getting bushwakers flairs.
thanks again

 

275/70/18 is the cheapest tire size that's a full 33" tall. Those 295s would be pretty wide for fitting on the stock offset, no?

 

Depending on tread pattern and true measurements they could be okay. It'd be close though.

 

when you say to wide,as to will not fit my 18' rims,if that the case I am installing bushwaker fender flairs.Would that help.
Thanks

 

Too wide as in rubbing on the control arm because of the high offset on the factory wheels.

 

They'd (295) fit, but I think they may rub because of how wide they are. They might not at that height though. The fender flares just keep mud and junk off of the side of your truck. I doubt you'll have any issues with that though because of how much the factory wheels hug to the inside. 275 is the best bet for them not rubbing and also the cheapest width. 295s or 305s and/or anything taller than a 33 usually puts ya in a different price bracket for whatever reason.

 

Ok first I have a 2 wheel drive,
What about putting 285-65-18 using a 2'1/2 leveling kit with bushwacker fender flares thats what my plan was,not looking for that 4x4 aggresive look because I been there and the ride sucks on open highways.
And this is what I was looking to use but I am open for any 2 1/2 kit or what is the top kits out there.Thanks for the help.

This is my recommendation

Autospring is arguably the best of any company out there and definitely the least expensive. HellBentSteel and 1 other are the only ones I'd choose. This is what I and many others on here have. I have a 2wd 2006 screw with a 2" level and 2" rear blocks. You just have to tell them that you're 2wd (vs 4wd) in a message and I'd thinking about asking for 2" rear blocks instead of 1 1/2" too, I'm sure they'd do that. You can purchase from their website too, but their eBay listings are usually always cheaper.

None of us are fans of the use of polyurethane or aluminum spacers, only steel. And new shocks aren't needed either unless you want them.

285/65/18s should be perfectly fine

 

Billet aluminum spacers are actually stronger than steel spacers. Although steel spacers will work fine for most applications, a member recently posted a picture where his steel spacer was bending down.
