Is daystar the best leveling kit out there? Does anyone have pics with the 2.5" kit with 33's or 35's. Was installation easy? thanks for any info.

 

All that it does is raise the front end 2.5 inches You will still rub with 33" offroad tires evrytime you turn into a drive way Or you can go skinnier tires no more than ten wide or cut up your fender well

 

33s wont rub on the stock rims after any of the lifts and some people claim 35s with no rubbing using the daystar. the 18" fx4 wheel/tire combo are 32s.....

i have the autospring 1.5 and after i burn up my stock rubber i am gonna try and get like a 34 under there.

 

thanks for the info i have the 18" wheels i would trim the wheel wells if i had two i am trying to decide on what kit to get. i want to keep the stock wheels but add bigger tires bfg 33" all terrains ko's

 

Patriot1,

I've seen your posts a couple times now that - with all due respect - have had incorrect information. There are lots of guys on here with leveling kits running 33s and even 35s without any trimming required whatsoever. When I have a few minutes, I'll post URLs to the gallery pics of their trucks.

 

Here is a perfect example....

I have the Auto Spring 1.5" kit.

Great product!

 

One thing to remember is there are many variables in what tire size will fit. Wheel width and backspacing plays a major role in tire fitment. I've seen several new 04's running 35's on stock wheels with only a leveling kit. Now if they mounted those same tires on 10 inch wide rims with less backspacing, there is no way they would fit. Also, a lot of lift kits increase the track width of the trucks front end. This basically has the same effect as running a wheel with less backspacing, it makes the tires "stick out" farther. All of the lift kits that I've seen for the 04's, except the leveling kits, increase front track width.

 

Finished it yesterday.............no rubbing with 33's on a 18X8.5 with 6.3 back space.
