leveling kits

I have an 02 Screw with a 3" PA body lift and 35's. If I was to put a 2.5" leveling kit on it could I clear 37's? I don't offroad much and I know they will fit in the back but what about the front?

I would not attempt, even if you put them on a factory wheels and tried to tuck them in there its not going to be pretty. Not to mention you would need to regear too.

Are you 2x4 or 4x4? If your 4x4 you can just crank your torsions and skip the leveling kit. If your 2x4 there's no chance of those fitting in the front without somewhere about 9" of lift.

I crammed 37s on my old truck like that (2 small lifts) trying to cut down on the cost. It just didn't work very good

Thanks for the help. I am 4x4. After thinking about it last night I would not be happy with it like that. I am gonna go 6" asap. Right now I'm putting a motor in the truck.

Thanks,

Dont forget putting in new gears or you will be putting another tranny in there too.

Good choice. I'm in the middle of putting a 6 inch on my truck now. You won't be disappointed. If somebody complains about having to jump/climb in, just say "thank you" That's what I did with my old truck, and hopefully my new truck by next week
