Leveling kits verses lifts

Hello everyone,

I am planning to install some 32 inch 265/70r17 Goodyear wranglers with procomp aftermarket rims and trying to determine whether to add a leveling kit or get a lift. After some research the leveling kit seems easier and less expensive. Please state which manufactures are better than others. Looking at bilstein leveling kits

In addition i am asking if it's recommended to get rims with offset?

Thanks for your opinions and knowledge on this subject,

Cody

 

do you offroad? if you are basically using it as a DD you will be fine with a leveling kit. If you get a wheel with a wider OS than what you have you will poke out and you definitely have rubbing issues. You may get away with 32s not rubbing but you may have to do a little trimming on the fenders

 

Check out KPT's build thread on here.. You can see pics of his truck with 18x9" rims on 265 65 18's and the bilstein 5100's at 1.75.. It sold me on the level kit for my DD (I think)
His wheels stick out and as far as I know with the right offset no rubbing or trimming needed.
