Hi everyone! Been reading around the forum for a couple of weeks now and now I think I'm ready to as some thought out questions

As the title says I have a 2006 SuperCrew 2WD truck. Everything is currently completely stock. It like to make it look a little beefier with some larger tires. Truck currently has 255/65/R17 and balding I'm from California, San Diego to be exact so snow handling not really a concern

Also I am on a budget which will most likely go to tires (gonna use stock rims) From reading on the forum it looks like this is what I would need to do to fit larger tires on a budget:

1. Get a front leveling kit - looks like the best bet would be to get a 2 inch AS leveling kit from ebay. I dont like the way the truck dips in the front and this will cheaply allow me to fit larger tires. I dont plan on doing anything to the rear.

Question - Will the 2 inch level the truck or will the 2.5 inch be better?

2. Once the leveling kit is in place I should be able to get a 33 inch tall tire without much issue (or so I have found reading around the forum) to fit. I'm leaning towards AT tires since I'd like to get a lot more miles out of them. Also this is a 2WD, so i doubt it will ever go off road in an serious manner

Question - I'm thinking of going with a 285 / 70 / R17, Is this the best size to look for with my setup? I'd rather not have to cut anything. Would a 33 X 12.5 R17 also be an option?

That's it for now!

Thanks!

 

Here is my truck with 2" leveling kit and 33x12.50R17 mud terrains. No trimming or rubbing.

 

Right, you can go with 305/65-17's if you want.
