I'm gong to buy the 2.5" leveling kit and wanted to know what is the biggest tire size I could fit on there with the kit. I'm hoping bigger than 33's. And the biggest i would go is 315-75-16 "35-12.50" but don't know if it will fit. Also i don't want to re-gear or loose any of my power. So what do you recommend

4.6 Triton V8
Volant Cold air intake ~ est 13hp
Gibson exhaust ~ est 15hp
Superchip micro-tuner ~ est 50+hp

 

If its a 4x4, you can fit 35s on your stock wheels or 33's on aftermarket wheels, but there may be trimming. If it is a 4x2, then 33's is the biggest you can go.

 

What year is your truck?

 

I was guessing he had a 04+, but i guess i should have asked....

 

its a 1998, sorry should have said that.

 

If it's a 4x4, you can fit 35's using the OEM wheels or 33's with aftermarket wheels. If it's a 4x2, stick with 32's or 33's. If you have a 4x4, you don't need a leveling kit because you can lift the front by adjusting the torsion bars to increase the preload (the same thing the "leveling kits" do except it's free).

 

thanks, ya its a 4x4. how much should i crank the t-bars?

 

A lot of people crank the torsion bars up all the way with the OEM adjustment keys. Just keep an eye on your CV joint angles.
