Leveling kit with stock wheels

[Beef_Stew]

Anyone running a 2.5 inch level with the stock 17 or 18 inch wheels? Would like to see if the stock wheel offset have the same rubbing issues that aftermarket wheels have at the front and rear crash bars when sizing up to 265/70's specifically on the 17 inch wheels.. thanks

I seriously doubt you will have any issues, even at the stock height. I had stock 265/60R18 stock and at full lock I remember having around an inch clearance front and back. With a 2.5" level you would have even more. Watch how aggressive your sidewall is going to be, you only have about 3/4" between the knuckle and the tire on top. Here is a pic with the stock tires and level.

Thanks for the advice man. Thinking about ko2's so hopefully they clear the knuckle if I only step up in height rather than width of the tire. How does your angles for the suspension look after installing the level? Pretty close to factory yet?

As far as angles go, I had it aligned and there wasn't any need for any kind of aftermarket camber kits. It aligned just fine with the level.

Sounds good man thanks. Now just to see if anyone levels their truck with the stock 17's and a tire upgrade or if I'll be the first
