2.5 level kit and 35's....no problem!

I'm reading a bunch of people saying it cant be done unless you cut ALOT but that's not true. I have 18x10 Moto metal wheels with a 4.5" back spacing and just a 2.5" level kit. I'm running 35/12.50/18 Federal MT's and ONLY had to trim the lower front valance a 1/4 inch. That's it.

Looks good man, I like the 09+ FX4 logo, I changed all my badges to the 09+'s and was going to do that but my steps have to 04-08 FX4 cut into them so I didn't change it... but the truck looks great!

Turn into a ditch and see if anything happens. It may not for you. If it doesnt awesome. Looks good though. Im still on the fence about the federals. How do you like them?

Nice truck.

Checked out your forum, looks good. I see you posted your truck on the main page NICE. However there was a Chevy add right at the top (Google ads) - motor trend truck of the year WTF.

I went with a 2" AS and got 2 1/2" out of it. I still have a little bit of rake, which is what I wanted.

Measure from the ground to the center of your wheel wells and you will be pretty close.
