    Is anyone running a 1.5 inch front leveling kit?

    My plan is to level the front end, and I've heard the 2 inch raises the front above the rear. True?

    I hope this will allow for 265/70/17's, which is slightly larger than stock. Recommendations?

    Also, BFG All Terrains or Good Year Wrangler Silent Armor?

    New member, first post!

    Thanks!

    what will the use of the truck be? Offroading? Hauling? Towing?

    we might be able to recommend you something better than spacers..

    On road specific? Off road? Mix of the two?

    Coilovers will be the best option no matter what you use your truck for. But after that budget comes into play.

    What's your budget?

    I had 1.5 inch spacers and ran 265/70r17's. Although I just switched them out for bilstein 5100 adjustable struts, and can say it rides much better with that setup. (I also removed the sway bar for what it's worth) anyway, I would recommend getting the adjustable lift struts instead of the spacers, even if you don't wheel it. Shockwarehouse.com has them for around $100 each. Good luck.

    Eta: as far as tires BFG has a new all terrain out the KO2. Check them out
