    Here's mine set at 1.75 with stock 3 leaf pack with 265/75/16's. Level, no rubbing, smoother ride than before. Any higher in the back or front and IMO would make your tires look too small. I just got my tires so I'm going to have to wait a while until to step up to 285's!

    Your planning to run 285's with your current set up? I didn't think they would clear?

    I've got quite a while until I need tires but have been debating on size.
