2.5 inch leveling kit - how big of tire can I go?

I wonder if anyone has ever asked this question.

 

Wat?

 

Just a motofab level. Will be
Going to ome 888 soon. And just a normal alignment. Nothing special.

 

Need more info, confused of skeptical?

 

315s no rubbing no cutting










Just a cmc and major fender trimming and pich weld is folded over and before I got the bumper it rubbed like a mf

 

Unless you change how far into the wheel well your tire can travel up, a leveling kit isn't going to help clear tires. All it does is raise your ride height. It's fine if you never articulate your suspension but once you do your bump stops on your lca limit how far up your tire can go. Nothing about a leveling kit changes that, unless it's a spacer and you bottom out your shocks first...


The best way to make sure your tire clears in every situation is to remove the coilover and let the truck sit on its bumps and turn the wheel from lock to lock. Again, all a 2.5-3" kit does is raise ride height. It does nothing to change the amount of potential up travel.

 

Actually hurts, more than helps, without caster right? Cause of the Arc of the control arms pushing the wheel back and it travels downward

 

Never thought of it like this but yes. When you lift you have to adjust camber more. By doing so you lose some of your caster adjustment, which leads to the tire being closer to the firewall.

 

Well look at the angle the UCA are mounted. Not even mentioning alignment, their natural Arc when lowered is to the rear no?

 

Looks perfect

 

Thank you!!

 

I have a 2/1 lift you think I can fit 17” 285/70/17 ?

 

Sorry for responding so late, I am sure you can, I will move up to 2" at the back from 1.5... Right now it seems level and I would like to see the back just a bit
higher, kind of the way it comes from the factory.
My understanding is that the 2" at front and 1" at the back, will keep the same rake, however I don't see it not even with the 1.5,
I hope the 2" wont look too big once installed.

 

Also to add there is only 2.5 inches of shock travel until the shock bottoms out on the bumpstop. getting an exactly 2.5 inch spacer lift which is about 1.25 inches thick you risk crushing or damaging your shock on a hard hit. you will need to ad a washer to your bumpstop
