I'm looking for a leveling kit so that I'm able to run 35x12.50 R 18. I spoke with one shop and they told me that I would need to run a 6" suspension lift, the other shop that would need a 3" Front spacer with a 1.5" block in the rear. I've noticed that there a lot of options out there between the leveling kit.

What leveling kit would work or option should I go with?
Thank you for your time.

 

Unfortunately there is more to the equation than just lift, it also depends on what type of tire and width/back space of the rim. You can run 35" mud tires with only a level kit if you do your homework.

Stay away from the 3 inch level kits, they will ruin your front end components fast, even the guys that sell them will steer you away if you actually want to drive your truck.

I have had really good luck talking to the guys at AutoSpring, they have a quality product and are pretty decent guys when answering your questions.

 

Thank you. I've also heard running a 3" lift in the front will cause my front suspension components to go out a lot faster. I plan on running 35x 12.50 R 18 atturo trail blade MT on the stock 18 rims until tax season.

Any suggestions would help.

 

You'll most likely need to trim the front valance some and just deal with some rubbing due to them being a 12.50 and a M/T pattern on just a 2-2.5" level. Something a little narrower or shorter would work better. If you go away from stock wheels you'll most likely need to get a 4-6" lift kit as well unless you get wheels with the same spec's as the stock ones.

 

I have a 2.5" front spacer and a 1.5 inch rear block and run 315 70-17's...basically the metric equivalent to a 35x12.50. They only rub in reverse at full lock a touch on the upper control arm

 

Rancho Quick Lift Loaded's? My truck is level ish...
