Need pics of 2" leveling kit with BFG 285/18's and stock rims

I tried the search button and it does not work as intended. Get nothing searching for BFG's, 285, nothing.

I just put the 2" leveling kit (AS) on my truck and am considering the BFG 285A/T's but I'm not sure they are big enough.

Can someone post a pic?

Thanks, appreciate your help.

Well here's the tire size you requested but no leveling kit...took it off because of ball joint angles. THe tires do fiil up the wheelwells nicely though.

That looks great, but did you have those tires on with the leveling kit before.

Thanks.

Yes I did and they also looked fine. They did not look too small if thats what you are worrying about. They measure right at 33 inches. Now I understand that BFG has come out with a 305-65-18 AT that is a 34 inch tall tire. I would think either one would look good. I just liked the look of the 285's on a stock height truck...much beefier looking.

i have a 2.5 autospring kit and put on 325/65/r18 on stock wheels and it looks great. i have posted a picture of my truck in the photo album on here. it rubs a little on lower a arms at full turn but it pulls great and looks even better.

Sorry to be naive, but what tire is that exactly. Looks awesome. I'd find an A/T as opposed to an M/T but the size is perfect.

Can you provide more detail?

That's a nice setup Tonka. Did that mud come with the tires?

Those might be a bit big for me, probably need a step down to 305's.

Thanks for the post, really need all the help I can get before I plunk down $1200+ for tires.

Thanks to all for your help. ANy more picks would be helpful.
