Here's what I have left of pics:

I know people say more than 2.5" is bad for your suspension, but I had a very similar set-up. I had the Rough Country 2" lower strut spacer and the Bilstein's cranked up to the max height, which put me at about 3.75" up front...I didn't have aftermarket UCAs, though I would have added them soon had I kept the truck. I had 285/75r18 Nitto G2s with stock rims and I was off-road quite a bit and no issues. I didn't keep the truck long-term and traded it for a 2500 at about 50k miles, but I had zero issues with my set-up and loved the way it looked.

I would think so. Initially, I had just a 2" level with 305s and the slightest rub at full lock in reverse. Of course it depends on how tall you go as well.

No problem. Thanks! I like the semi-stock look as well! I had the KO, at the time I bought them, they weren't making the KO2 in the size I wanted. There was a slight rub on the rear part of the fender lining on the driver side at full lock (right turn), but it would have been fixed by tying it back. I really did like the look of the KOs and the white lettering, but two of the tires cracked or got cut from mild off-roading. I changed to Nitto G2 for a few reasons: 1- the warranty on a tire this large (50k for Nitto vs nothing for BFG) 2- the price was right (KO2s were pretty pricey) 3- there weren't any of the KOs left in that size (according to Discount Tire) 4- and I added about 1.5" of additional lift and felt the need to fill the extra space with a larger tire! I don't think there is an difference in actual size between the KO and the KO2 if they're said the same size. Looking back after having purchased the 285 Nittos, I wished I would've gone with a little wider tire, like a 295 or 305, because I really liked that look.

Here are some pics. Sorry for the poor quality, they're all I have right now.

I put the the Bilstein adjustables on in addition to the level and set the Bilsteins on the highest setting and added a 3" rear block (as opposed to the 1.25" rear block). So I have about 3.75" of lift up front and 1.75" in the rear. I'll put some pics up once I get home from work.

I put all of engine mods on the truck before the level and tires. I most definitely saw an increase in performance after I put the engine mods on, but of course after the lift and tires a little bit of that was lost. Hoping to regain that with the next mods!

CAI: aFe (51-74104) Momentum GT Sealed Cold Air Intake System for GM Silverado/Sierra 1500 Muffler: Borla 40359 Muffler (I apologize here, I said exhaust earlier when I really meant just a muffler, but I had them cut out the extra muffler and run 3inch pipe all the out way back) Tuner: DiabloSport T1000 Trinity Dashboard Tuner and Diagnostic Tool Next: Short Tube headers and Custom Tune by DiabLew As far as CAI, I like S&B which I had on my 2007 Silverado, but at the time they weren't making one for the 14s (I think they are now).

No clearance issues. No power issues, but I also added a CAI, exhaust, and a Diablo Tuner. My highway MPG with the BFGs and level was still at about 20mpg after the other additions. I actually no longer have these tires because the two rear ones got cut pretty badly (rocks on a trail I assume). For my new set, I chose to go with Nitto G2 285/75r18 (much better warranty with this size of tire), still have the stock wheels. For my next set, I will go wider as I liked the way the wider tires looked.

No. There is only a slight rub at full lock on the rear side of the fender liner, which I zip-tied back to fix it.

Here are 2 pictures with the Rough Country 2" Level with Bilstein front adjustable shocks set on the lowest setting. BFG All-terrain 305/65/18

I wanted to do the exact same thing. I got the Rough Country 2' level and put 305/65/18 BFG All Terrains on my truck. No rubbing at all - it looked great. So a 2.5" level should work great.

I just got the Rough Country 2" level and the Bilstein adjustable shocks put on the front and a 2' block in the rear. I had them adjust the shocks just to the first level. A total of 2.75" in the front and .75" in the rear. I put 305/65r18 BF Goodrich KOs. No rubbing at all, they measure about 33.7" tall. I couldn't be happier with how my truck turned out.
