New BFG T/A KO's

I went a little bigger than factory (275/70/18). Love the tires, but still not real happy with how my front sits. It has a 2" leveling kit, but I always thought it looked a little high. Looks a little better with the bigger tires, but I am still gonna go back to a 1.5" front kit. Here some pics -

Looks good, I agree the front is a tad high, you could always add a block in the back.

Nice, you're gonna like those tires. Good job on the white letters out, thought I was the only one who liked that.

No can do! That is how this whole cycle goes - First I leveled, Then I got bigger tires, Now i want either the rear higher or the front a hair lower. Which if I go with the rear higher, thats gonna lead to bigger tires! ROFL

It measures dead level. I just think I like the look of a slight rake. A friend of mine did his 1.5" kit 3 days after I did my 2" and I like the look of his more.

I am in the exact same boat as you, I have a 09 and I put in a AS 1.5" level and 275/70/18 BFGs and I think I sit a little nose high. I am going to go with the 1" rear block, it's a cheaper option around $64 and easier to put in.

Its hard to tell in the pics I posted, but the truck is facing a slight up hill, and the street leans pretty hard to the driver side (it effects the looks pretty badly). I just got back home for dinner out and some shopping with the wifey, and it looks FANTASTIC on a flat parking lot. The tires could be a bit wider, but for what I am needing them for they are perfect.

Its for that same reason that a LOT of other tires were not even considered. I like shined up white lettering. Check out my last truck all cleaned up (before I had the bed cover painted).

Those tires look great. I am picking mine up tomorrow to go with my 2" front level and 1.5" block in the rear for my '08 FX2...I can't wait!
