Stock Tires And A Levelling Kit?

[dannynoonan]

Anybody put on a level kit with stock tires? I would love the level kit, rims and tires, but I can't swing it all at once. Was hoping to do the level kit and leave the stock (17") rims and tires on for a while. Does it look goofy? Anybody got a pic?

That is exactly what I have on my truck. I have the crappy 245/70/17 with the level kit. It doesn't really look bad, click the link in my signature to see some more pictures. But it looks like a 2500HD standard stance in my opinion, even the dealer was surprised that it was a 1500. I am planning on upgrading my tires when these wear out but it doesnt really look bad.

Sorry about the previous post. It doesnt look bad, but the pictures are before the leveling kit. I will take some tomorrow and post them as soon as I can.

That would be great. My stock tires are 265/70 17. I would love to level it out, I'm just afraid it will look like I'm running the emergency spare or something.

lots of wheel well space, but will look better than the nose down a%$ up stance.

Here are some pics with stock wheels and tires (265/65R18) using 2" drop shackles to bring the rear down. The truck is on a slope so it's hard to see that it's level, but you can tell the difference by looking in the wheel well. I think it looks way better.

I have the stock wheels and tires. I added air bags to the back to keep it from being nose up pulling my boat.

Its not awful but they could stand to be a lot bigger.

Quagmire, I've never gotten a really good look at your rig before, VERY nice. Love the RCLB.

That doesn't look bad at all. Maybe my baby steps approach will work

itll look fine. had to do it with mine. i cranked up the front until i could afford the new tires. i had 265/70/17 on there. its alot better than the nosedive stance. thats how mine is right now actually, until i can afford some new tires after what happened.

I just put a truexx kit on my truck. It raises the front 2 1/2 inches and the back 1 1/2 inches. I was worried about the stock tires too, but after putting it on I was really impressed with the looks even with the 265 70 17's. I would definately suggest doing it. I'll try to put a pic up later.

[dannynoonan]

The truxxx kit was the one I was going to have put on. Sounds like it would be the exact set up. If you can post a pic I would really appreciate it.

Well I took pictures...but I can't figure out how to post them. It asks for a URL to the picture. Can't I just attach a picture like I would for an email? How do I get a URL for my picture?

This kinof goes with the topic I just posted... How was the install, and how much was the kit? I appreciate it, thanks...
