^^^ Thanks ^^^

I had a 4" lift. I'm not sure if you'll be able to get away with a 2" level up front. MAYBE push the bumper out a little with some washers for clearance (?), NOT SURE though. Wait for someone else with more knowledge than I to tell you what you'll need to do. As far as spacers for the rear, Ebay. I had a 2" aluminum one that ran me about $200 a few years back. As far as tires, the last set were 315/75/16 (35-12.50's) ProComp Mud Terrains. They worked well in all weather, but not sure of the tread life. They were pretty soft. I'd say 30k miles with good rotations. I've also had Cooper Mud Terrains and they lasted over 40k miles.
Hope that helps a little. Post up a picture so we can see your truck.

Havent got the spacers yet. still waiting on the UPS guy, but everything fits well and I think the front bumper may clear the tires.

Oooh, that's purdy.

And if the front bumper doesn't clear, its pretty easy to space it out. Its only held on by four bolts that you can washer (or get spacers for).

Just do a search for "Superduty Leveling Kit", and you'll find tons of shit. I'd got with the drop brackets over the add a leafs for a better ride.

Is it just me or is the rear tires mounted the wrong way? Or does it matter which way the tread goes?
