I finally got the leveling kit, wheels and tires on my truck over the last week. specs are below:
RC 2.5" leveling kit, front only
wheels :fuel boost 18x9, -12 offset
tires: toyo MT 33x12.50r18
height before leveling and on stock 265/65/18
front: 36 1/8
rear: 38 7/8
after leveling, and with 33x12.50r18:
front: 39 3/8"
rear : 39 1/2"
as far as the install of the RC kit, i did it at home by myself, with just basic wrenches and sockets, and it took less than two hours to install. real simple, and gave me no problems. anyone who has any basic mechanical knowledge and a basic tool set should be able to perform this install in their driveway or garage with no issue.
love the way the truck sits now. as far as rubbing, i have a little bit at full lock in reverse against the felt inner fenderwell, which i'll probably just zip tie back. it's pretty minor rubbing. very very little rubbing going forward at full lock, i'll have to get some help to determine where it's coming from, or search for rub marks. no noticeable ride harshness noted, but definitely lost some mpg. guess thats what happens when you go from a sissy 5 ply p rated tire, to a 10 ply mud tire thats taller and wider
anyway, here are the pics. tried to get identical before/after shots.
