Question 2.5" leveling & 3" block | which brand?

I would like to fit 325/50/22 tyres/wheels which I would need to lift the truck.

I'm planning to do 2.5" leveling kit at front & 3" block at rear but not sure which brand I should go for?

Kindly share your experience

I've got a 2.5" kit up front and a 3" block in the rear.......both are made by Autospring. No issues to complain about...

The wheel backspacing will play a huge roll as to weather those wide 325s will rub the UCA. My truck sits deal level with just 2.5" up front, a 3" block would raise the rear just over an inch if it is 4wd and 3" if 2wd. The whole purpose for the leveling kit is to level the truck, not raise it up the awful factory rake still. More specs on your truck please, also, what brand/type of tires are you looking at. 35s on 22s will look good if the right tire/wheel combo is used. If going for the street look, try lowering the rear with shackles to level the truck out.

So what are your plans?

I would suggest going with AutoSpring also. I have had their 2.5" kit up front for over 3yrs now and no problems at all!

Cool, I will go for the autospring.

what about the rear end? do I really need to add the block? most of the guys here lifted it 3"

If it is required based on my wheels/tires choice, which size and brand?

thanks again

The block all depends on how much rake you want. The tire figment should not be an issue as the closest rubbing point is always up front with steering and such. I have a 2.5" up front and stock block in the rear it it sits perfectly level by the eye, but the rear is 1/4" to 1/2" higher I do believe when I measured it.

Good pick!! I'm also running the AS 2.5 inch level and the 3 inch rear block!

Love it. With factory 20's and (Hankook Dyna Pro ATM RF10) in 325x60x20 tires

I still prefer going with 22 XD Monster - 325/50/22 but I'm worried of the rubbing especially if I went off road
