Do you have a 4x2 or a 4x4 ? After finding this site and getting some very good advise from the members, I went with the Autospring 2.5" kit on my 05
4x4 screw, I really like it. Inexpensive and easy to install and maintains factory ride and handling. Because I pull a rather large boat in the summer, I also added a Skyjacker add a leaf to keep the rear from sagging, when empty it sits about an inch higher in the rear.

In a 4x4 with a 2.5" leveling kit some are running a 35" tire on factory rims with no problems but it really depends on width of the rim and backspace. Factory rims are 7.5" wide with a 5.5" backspace, anything wider or far from OEM backspace I've been told to stay with a 33x12.5 tire.

IF you have a 4x2, I wouldn't want to steer you wrong since I have no first hand knowledge but I am sure someone will chime in.

Right. I've seen several 4x4's with 2.5 inch leveling kits running 325/60-18's (33x13.00) on 18x9 inch wheels (with 5 and 5.5 inches of backspacing).

I was told by a local shop that the highest could go with just a leveling kit on my 4X2 was 285/70/17
