    level means ____________________________________________ in my book

    which means u want the front higher than it is stock,(another 1.5-2 inches I assume) so I would measure ur truck out on a level plain (hub to fender flare) throw a jack under ur truck and lift it till its level. Check the difference in measurement, thats the height u need up front to be level.

    265/75/16

    no spacers needed for that

    thnx..........


    its rlly the best way, some trucks have settled more than others, so throwing out a random number will be good for some, off for others (by some degree).... besides, the floorjack is quick and easy :)
