    PM Marie from headstrong. They have great customer service and she can point you in the right direction once you let her know what your budget is, and what it is you want to do with your ride.

    thanks for the feedback sorry for the delayed response on my end. I thought a 275 was a little bigger than that. I was wanting to go with a 33" tire, and the 265 and 275 and whatever get them mixed up. So the quwstion I meant to ask is would the front end leveling kit work with a 33 or will it be more than just that?

    275 is the width of the tire, in mm, at the bulge of the tire. There's more to the tire size than just that number. Play around with the tire calculator and see the effects.

    Lift has nothing to do with fitting the tire. Most people have to trim with a 33" tire. Some get away without it if they have less aggressive stance.
