Here's a couple pics from my new tires/wheels and 2.5" top gun customz leveling kit. Wheels are Ultra's w/ 5.5" BS with 25mm offset, tires are 33x12.20x17 Mickey Thompson Baja Claws.

 

No rubbing, front height is 39.5" and rear is 39" to fender wells. Adding 2" more in the rear as soon as the block comes in.

Yeah,You definetly need to add those blocks,I had to do the same thing.

Its funny,You add a leveling kit to "level it" and the front ends up higher than the rear!

Blocks came in this evening, might throw them on tonight. I think I could have gotten away with a little bigger tire. I'll run these out till its time to upgrade.

 

I have about $1,000 in everything. Not too bad

Please post pics once you install the blocks, I'm working on the same setup. I have the 2.5 leveling kit, a 3inch body, and interested in the rear blocks... Did you go with the superlift rear block kit? I'm gonna try some 35's and a crazy wheel offset hopin its gonna work.... :sigh:

That was my thought after seeing the wheels installed, and hardly anyone is running Baja Claws on the new trucks

Did you install the leveling kit yourself?

 

Yes, the front took about 1.5 hrs. and rear took 30mins Easy install to me. Only issue was misplacing a nut, when going to reinstall the tie rod.

I installed my 3" rear blocks this eveing, that gave me 41" to the rear fender well, and 39.5" to the front. I keep the rake with the set up. I'll post pics in the morning. Had to show it off and tear up some mud after I installed the rear blocks

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
