2.5 Leveling for 05 2wd Scab?

I am seriously considering putting a 2.5in leveling kit on my 05 2wd Scab. However, I just bought a new set of Dueller Revo's not too long ago (they look a little bigger than stock), and was wondering how the leveling kit would look with the stock wheels and tires. Does anyone have any pics of their 04+ 2wd with stock wheels and tires? I really want the leveling kit since I was driving around the country not too long ago and bent the step bars because I didn't have enough clearance. Also how did this affect your milage?

Look in my pics I have a '06 Screw with 2" level kit with factory size tires still. Unless you are planning on raising the rear as well, I would stick with just a 2" level kit. To me, my truck appear to squat in the rear with just the 2" and I plan on adding a 1" block to the rear to even it back out. I doubt you'll see a change in gas mileage unless you put on bigger tires.

I put the 2.5" on my 04 SCAB and have to admit the stock wheels/tires looked oddly small. As for a "squat" she's sitting level as can be!

Wow JeremysF150 that looks awesome, are you happy with it? Are you going to keep it as is, or did you get the lift to add bigger tires?

Ive been researching the same thing. Looks like the Autospring is the way to go. You want to be careful about going over 2.5 inches though or it will screw up your ball Joints. I was just about ready to by the ReadyLift.com brand for like $200 bones when I came across a thread on here talking about the Autospring. Same thing for the most part but only 75 bucks on Ebay.

Thanks, I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I plan on getting 33's
when the stock tires wear out.

What size tires come stock on 20's on a 2wd? Mine come out to like 30.5" they are a 265/60/18.
