    I’m about to put 275/70/17 KO2’s on 17x9 Fuel Assault wheels with -12 offset with 2 inch PRO COMP leveling kit. Did you put a leveling kit or lift with your tires?

    In other words, do you think a 2 inch leveling kit is perfect to get a stance based on that tire size or do you think a 3 inch lift is better?

    My truck has the Procomp Nitro 3/1 leveling kit on it, dealer supplied and installed for $360 so I figured why not. Changed out the rear blocks to 2” instead of the 1” to be completely level.
    The wheels I have them on are the Method Roost 17x8.5, 0 offset, 4.75 backspacing.
    No rubbing at all during the minor off-roading I’ve done, no rock crawling or anything extreme.
    Eventually I plan on upgrading the suspension when I actually plan on really off-roading it. Right now it’s still too new for me to be ok risking really damaging it, so admittedly it lives 95% of its life on pavement, and when it leaves pavement it’s primarily sand.
    I know spacer lifts are frowned upon on these forums but it’s what works for me and I’m happy with it, just hit 21,000 miles and have had zero issues. Hopefully this answers most of your questions

    EDIT: spelling

    Thanks, I don’t off road at all and only going for looks, I only drive it on the weekends because I have another vehicle. I was just wondering if a 2 inch leveling kit will get that level stance

    I’m happy with my 3”F/2”R setup. I don’t know how 2” in the front would turn out, if 2” was offered and guaranteed no rubbing then I would most likely have done that instead, mainly for CV angles and being more level without having to change to a 2” block.

    3”Front / 1” Rear gave me some Cali lean, once I switched to the 2” in the rear it leveled out. So I’m guessing if 3/2 is level for me, than 2” front/1” rear would make you level if you only went 2” in the front, unless the rake is different on TRD sports from TRD offroads

    I really don’t know how it will come out with the 2 inch leveling kit, but that’s what they recommend. I’m going to the most reputable place on our island. They are the best. I just want to be level and not where the front is higher than the rear. Thank you for sharing!
