I am about to buy my leveling kit and dont know if I should get a 2.5" a 3" kit. I have a 2005 Fx4 4x4. It sits pretty high in rear. Should I just measure from the ground to the wheel well on both front and rear and see what I need? Thanks guys


Edit: I just went and measured and it measures 36" front 39 3/4" rear. And thats from the ground to the center of wheel well.

 

2.5 inch is all I would do. I did the 2.5 inch kit on mine and it's level. I have an 04 FX4. One of the biggest problems with the 3 inch kit is the angles it puts on the rest of your suspension componets.

 

x2 on 2.5. Plenty to level.

 

2.5" is more than enough. a 3" kit will most likely make you sit rear heavy.


my 2.5" makes the truck dead level

 

I'm sitting level on 2.5".

 

Here's what my 2.5" kit did.

Stock with 265/70/17 Goodyear RT/S's


After installing spacer and adding 285/70/17 Toyo OpenCountry AT's


Sit's pretty level IMO.

 

Hey there, new member!

 

2.5 is all you need. I went with a 2 and it sat level afterwards

 

Just got my leveling kit on today, the front now measures 39" and the rear 39.75". So its not that far off level. Tomorrow I should be getting my 35" Pro Comp extreme A/T's on the stock rims. I cant wait to see what it will look like. Anyone have some pics of leveling kit and 35's? Thanks guys

Heres a pic

 

 

my sig is 2.5" on 35's.

 

i have the same tires as countrypunk but i have a 2in kit

 

I have a 3 and it is a half inch too much...

 

No more than 2.5" or you will run into problems.

 

I got my 35" tires on today and....THEY RUB! They are 35x12.5 18's, pro comp extreme A/T. Can I get spacers or something? At full lock they rub and at center wheel they are really really close to the ball joint. heres a few pics and also I painted my headlights yesterday and found out today that they are not completely sealed as you can see, but that I will just wait until spring and redo them. And I measured to the wheel wells again and I am at 40.25" front and 40.75" rear.
