New User With Tire and level Question
Hi Everyone!
Im new to the site and had a couple of quick questions. I just bought on 07 screw 4x4. I wanted to level it and put on bigger tires.
1. I was wondering if I gain any advantage by using leveling shocks such as Bilstein 5100s over just a spacer leveling kit. I didnt know if that would place less pressure on the u-joints etc, or if its not worth the money.
2. I wanted to keep my stock 20s that came with my truck and was wondering what a good trire selection would be. I was wondering what would be the widest tire I could go with witout sticking out of the wheel wells. I was oping for some 305/55/20 Nitto TGs. I just dont want to mess up my new black paint.
Thanks so much for the help and comments are appreciated

welcome to the site!
1.) no, the longer coilovers will only potentially provide a softer ride- the stresses and angles of the upper and lower control arms will be similar to those with leveling kit use.
2.)you can keep your stock 20s- you wont stick out at all as long as you keep the stock wheels- tire size, generally with only a leveling kit, leveling shocks, the max tire diameter can be from 33-35"
