I'm ready to buy my AutoSpring leveling kit for my 04 FX4. Problem is, I dont know which size I should get, 2 or 2 1/2". I'm going to be putting on 20x9 MotoMetal 951's and 33s. Which one should I go with?

 

2.5 Unless you feel like cutting out the wheel well....

 

The 20x9 shouldn't rub, unlike the 20x10 951s. They are coming out later this month and were desgined for vehicles w/o lifts. They have a 6" BSing so i think i should be ok.

 

anybody else?

 

you should be fine with just the 2" cause theres alot of guys on hear that are running 33's with just a 2" and as long as u get the right bacspaceing on the wheels u will be fine!

 

If your truck is 4WD you can run 33's without a kit. Not sure about on those wheels though.

 

I say go with the 2-1/2" spacer. I had 325/60/18 on Helo Maxx 6s 18x9 with 5-1/2" of backspacing, and they still rubbed with the Daystar spacer.

 

4wheel parts told me that the 20x10 951's w/ 33's would not rub with the 2.5 leveling kit......guess i'll find out next Friday when they put everything on. I will be one PO'd **** if they rub bad. I could stand it if they rub a tiny bit since I will be ordering a 6" after a few months, but they told me it would be no prob!??!! .

 

Auto Spring told me that if you like the look of the front end being higher than the rear, go with the 2.5". Otherwise go with the 2".

 

Well,they will probaly rub (other people with the same set-up claim they do when the wheel is cut all the way). Get the 20x9. There made specialy for our kind of truck. They're coming out later this month.

 

I hate to hijack this thread, but I hate to start a new one too. Is the 2.5" AS I bought for my 4x2 going to put the back lower than the front on stock 18" wheels and tires?

 

I read here that with AS added, U might find buying new ball joints due to premature wear as result of height difference in UA.

 

yep, but it's gunna be worth it for me
