Leveling kit and snow plow

[MaineChevy]

Hey guys new to the site. I am switching from a tundra to a 2016 Silverado 1500 crew 4x4. I plowed with my tundra for years and plan on switching it to my Chevy, I only do my driveway. I was thinking of putting a two inch leveling kit on the front and replacing the one inch block with the two inch block in the back. Will this allow me to run 265/70/18 tires on the stock rims? I am leading towards a billet aluminum kit over the composite kit because of the plow but a friend at work has run the rc composite lower strut kit on his Silverado with a plow for a while and has had no problems. Was just wondering what you guys thought

Thanks for the help

I don't have any plow experience as I live in the south, but I went with Motofab personally just because of them being made of aluminum. Gave me a warm fuzzy. Btw you can run a 275/70R18 if your looking to go bigger. I'm running that size in KO2 with 2" up front and Zone add a leaf in the rear and have no issues.

Thanks for the help, I have also thought about just going 1.5 in the front so I did t have to touch the back, with a 1.5 in the font could I clear 265/70/18 on factory wheels?

Yes, a guy at work, runs 275/70R18 on completely stock suspension and has no rubbing. I have no doubt that it would fit no issues.

 

A 2" level pretty much set my DC perfectly leveled with 1/2" of rake however I tow and haul quite a bit and didn't like the squatted look so I added the add a leaf.

This while time I was looking at 18 inch tires but I have the 17 inch rims. If I went with a 1.5 inch level kit so I didn't have to touch the back could I run a 275/70/17 with out rubbing? Appears to be about half an inch wider than the 265/70 and about an inch taller
