Post leveling kit with 285's pics

Hi everyone

I was wondering if you guys and gals would post some pics of your trucks with a leveling kit and 285's. Also i heard that the 2.5 inch daystar sits a tad high in front. Has anyone added a block or add-a-leaf in the rear. Thanks People!!!!!!!!!

You could probably do a search for pictures.

I have a 2.5 skyjacker lift which some say is the same thing as the daystar lift so far I have no pictures or confirmation on the numbers of the spacers which say this is so. Anyway if this is the case and they are the exact same spacer then I would say that on my truck the 2.5 inch skyjacker kit made it look level.

285/55/20 2.5 leveling kit

I have the Daystar and 285/55/20 BFG AT's And have had no problem with the tires rubbing. There is still 1" of rake in the truck and have loaded her down with no front wheelie affects. I wanted to get a one inch block for the rear but my mechanic said he could not find one with two holes as that is what the new Fords require. The only two hole block he could find was a 2.5 inch which would have put all the rake back in the truck.

I can't really say that I noticed a difference either way as far as the ride but I love the way it looks now.
