I have a 2012 XLT 4x4 Supercab and am looking to do a level/buy new tires. I have the 18 inch stock rims and tires on it now but want to do the highest level possible with the biggest tires possible. What would be good combos using that 18 inch rim?
Anything larger than a 2.5" level will wear out front end components much faster. Also, if you want it level and not nose high, you need to measure from the center of the center cap on the wheel to the fender arch and determine how much higher the rear is. Your truck doesn't appear to have too much rake so a 1" or 1.5" level may be all you'll need to make it sit level.
The Bilstein 5100 series shocks work great..they can level the front up to 2 inches while providing a better ride. Some 305x65x18 BFG's on the stock wheels would look great plus save you some cash!
Nice truck! Your truck looks like it already has a level kit, maybe it's just the amgle of the picture. I just bought me a 2012 4x4 super crew. I have the procomp 2" spacers coming in. Should put my front about 1/4-1/2 lower than the rear. Also remember that tire size effects how high your front will go when you put in spacers. Bigger the tire the higher it's going to be. I'm am going to run 275-70-18s to keep tire weight and cost down.

Hey thanks I like your truck too. It's on a slight upward incline so that's why it looks like that. I am gonna get the same tire size by Nitto Trail Grapplers, what are you getting?
Not sure on what tired yet. Probly between the grapplers, bfg all terrains or maybe the cooper discovers. Just not really sure. I want something good on road and off but 90% of my driving is on road so I need something that will last.

Cool man, let me know what ya go with and if you like them! I will prob go with grapplers.
The Bilstein shocks set at 1-1/2 inches have been great so far...lots of room for a 34" on now. The 33's actually look small but I'm loving the gas mileage with them on.
I will be installing them tomorrow. If I didn't have new tires that came on the truck I would put on some tired tomorrow as well. I'm going to go with BFGs 275-70 18s. Wouldn't mind going up a hair more but I belive that the 275 70 is like a 33.4 height which is fine with me.
