Leveling kit + body lift

magstar67 · March 19, 2015

On the new trucks, do you guys think with a 2.5" level and 1.5 body lift you could fit a tire that measures 34.4" x 12.7 (315/70r17)?

Wheels I'm looking at are available in +6 or -6 offset.

I would say yes but go with the +6 .. but every truck measures different far as hight.. I have 33s but there far from rubbing.. truck is 41 1/4 finder hight

Dpassmo Truck looks perfect! I have the RC 2.5 level and Zone 1.5 BL in the back seat for a few months now hope to install and get some tires soon!

So the general consensus is they are perfectly fine to stack with a level? I wanted 4" of lift but really don't want to alter my suspension so much with a lift kit. I'd love to run some 20x10's with 33s. I'm just wondering how much I'd have to trim. Any thoughts?

I ran 33s on stock rims and 2 inch spacers with my rough country 2.25 level for a very long time with no problems at all. it scrubbed some at full lock but when i took the spacers out it was perfectly fine.

Just adding a pic for comparison if anyone is still thinking about doing this. 2.5" front level only (no rear blocks) and Zone 1.5" body lift. A word of caution that I haven't seen mentioned is be aware that any future bumper accessories you end up adding (brush guard, light bar, etc.) may need modifying to fit correctly as was the case with my N-Fab light bar. Also, you will notice the hitch is not flush with the bumper in th rear if you use the rear bumper relocation brackets.

Thanks z71 Chevy .. Love it.. and the ride is good considering lifting and tires.. for a 4 inch lift can't beat the price

Anybody ever ran 35s with this set up??

I'm tempted. I think they'll fit as long as the wheel offset is above 0. But something keeps holding me back and going with the 295/60/20 just to be sure it fits.

I have a 2" level and added the Zone 1.5" bl. I really want to go with 285/75r18 which is a 35x11.5" tire. I was planning on keeping my stock wheels to save money, but I'm thinking I'll hit the sway bar and even the body mounts right behind the front tires concern me (but I don't recall anyone ever hitting the body mounts). I'll probably have to go with a slightly lower-offset wheel.

At minimum I plan on going with 295/70r18 which is roughly 34.25x11.75 (which I see one member already runs these with only a level on +18 wheels).

Just wondering if you ever ended up getting those 35's on and what the outcome was?
