Hey dubsesd, Why did you go with the AS 2" instead of the 2.5"? How far was the alignment off after you installed the front leveling kit? Sweet truck BTW I have one just like it and have been pondering a leveling kit. After seeing yours its a must have.
Thanks,

Thanks,
i went with the 2" because i still wanted some rake with the rear 3" blocks. the back is still a bit higher than the front so when i laod up the truck with anything it still remains level. toe was at 0.19 and camber was off a bit. it didnt feel "off" but i prefer to get it checked after putting on some new tires.

Hey Dub, I sent you an email last night, not sure you got it but I see you online now so just a few /'s if you don't mind.

1. is your platinum a 4x4 and did it have the OEM 1 5/8' blocks in the back?
2. any rubbing front/rear at all with the 305's? I noticed with even just the stock Pirrelis (sp?) there isn't much clearance between the rear tire and the shocks.

Beautiful truck BTW. I just picked up my special order Silver FX2 SCAB and am just waiting for my Cooper Zeon's to arrive and it's going to the shop to get leveled out.

Thanks for sharing.
Aloha

How close are 305's to 35's? I'd like to see those Platinum wheels with 35's. They look really nice on that truck.

305/55 R20 = 33.21 in tall, 12.01 in wide, with 6.60 in sidewall height

EDIT: for comparison, many 35s are 35" tall (obviously), and 12.5" wide
