It's Leveling time!!!

Anyone out there have any of the following set-ups?

1.5" front level with 275/60R20 on a 04-08?

I'd love to see photos.

I'm Definitely going with a spacer as all my driving is road and I don't need the beefed up bilstein shocks.

Thanks everyone.

 

Anyone:

2" front level with 275/60R20

2" front level with 275/65R20

Pics... Thanks.

 

Not an exact match but close: 275/65R20 with a 2 ½" block in the front. Truck sits level but I have a 3" block in the rear due to the weight of my cap and toolbox in the bed.

 

I did the Rancho Quiklift struts in my 2007, which gave me 2" of leveling height. I did nothing to the back suspension. It sat nicely level, but the front was a touch lower than the rear. I ran 295/60-20 ( 34x12 ) Nitto Trail Grapplers on 20x9 +18 offset wheels.





275/65 would be 34.1"x10.8, exactly 1 inch taller than the 275/60 ( depending on the tire of coarse ). Clearance would be fine as long as your offset isn't negative.

Rancho Quiklifts and RS9000XL rear shocks were a nice comfy setup. The front springs were too soft compared to stock though, flex and body wiggle was present. I just put the Bilstein 5100 kit in my 2013 and I feel it rides much nicer, more body roll control, and not harsh. More controled, but comfortable. I had them 8 years ago in a 2004 and recalled I wasn't impressed. That has changed.

 

2007 with 2.5 leveling kit, (now has Bilsteins at 2 inch level notch) have a 1 inch rear block. 275 60 R20 Michelin At2.

I didn't do 275 65s bc the majority of the ones I liked were thicker/heavier tires load range E type tires, which equaled up to be near 10 extra pounds per tire. I'm fine with P metrics for excessive highway driving, so I stuck with 275 60 (33 inches).

Also, I haven't had the best of luck in the past week with the ride quality of my new Bilstein leveling struts up front, I'm already looking to make adjustements to the setup.

 

Thanks Guys. I appreciate the responses.

Like Tman I am leaning toward the 275/60/R20 to avoid the E range tires. Wanted the additional rubber but doesn't seem worth it.

 

I like that look. Maybe I'll go with 2"
