    Ok so I think am going to put a 2.5 inch leveling kit on my first gen. I am getting this for basically for free otherwise I would do billy 5100's. The owner of the shop says 32's will look perfect. So my question's are will it look good? Will it look goofy with 31's until I save up for 32's? And if I do a 2.5 inch level how much would I have to lift the rear if I have to lift it at all? Thanks for the help guys:)

    Wont look goofy just more space. 265s no rub 285s may fit just fine also. But they might rub.

    31's will look fine with the lift but 32's would be better. and get an AAL for the rear

    PM me if you're still undecided in a few weeks, I have the same dilemna with a leveling kit and 3" AAL, I'm getting 285/75/16 or 70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers and 16 or 17" DC-1's soon. Oh, and also, trimming will definately be required.

    so your thinking of going up 3" in the rear with a 3" front kit?

    Better go with a 33 on that for sure

    or a at least a 285 75 16 --- 70/17
