Pictures of Leveling Kit with OEM tires

I have a 2.5" AS Leveling Kit. I want to go ahead and put it on, but I dont have the money for new tires yet. I have the OEM 20's with 275/55-20 Pirelli's. I just want to see Pictures to see if it will look right.

It doesn't look "right," IMHO.

Many here have gone the level kit route, prior to the wheel and/or tire upgrade, and, though it's a matter of personal preference, it looks strange.

The aforementioned have done the upgrade soon thereafter.

I'm going for the same look, check out all of my posts and find ones asking about 35's on 20's or leveling kits and you can see some pics of guys throwin 35's on OEM 20's and IMO it looks awesome... i don't have the money to buy a lift kit so I am goign for a LK and block in the rear... It looks nice specially with BFG M/T's...

Ok I found some pics and it "doesnt" look right to me either. I am just going to sale the LK and go ahead and buy factory sized tires cause they are MUCH cheaper then what I want. After I get out of college in a couple months and get a job then Ill go for the look that I "want."

I installed a 2" AS on our 05' back in Feb 06'. I never did really like the look of the empty front fender-wells. I removed the spacers tonight so I could install them on our new 08' next weekend. After stepping back and looking at it in stock form I have decided to remove the rear blocks on the 08' to level it rather than installing the front spacers. Someday we may get larger tires and if that happens I will install the front spacers along with reinstalling the rear blocks but with stock tires the front wheel wells don't look right. After I lower the back I may decide I don't like that route either but one way or the other the truck will be level.

Here is a picture with the 2" AS kit installed - stock rubber:

Here is the well before lift:

Well after lift:
