    Hi I'm thinking about getting a 3"front and possibly 2" rear Leveling kit in my truck. ( is that recommended for not wanting to change swing arms and all that crap?) But also i wanted to know what size wheel/tire combo I should use. I currently have stock p27565r18 now. Any help would be appreciated!

    I have a 2.5" front leveling kit with 35's and the tires rub on the body mount. I will have to chop the body mount for the tires to not rub. 33" and smaller and you will be good with no chop. Current tires are worn down too; getting new tires next week and they will definitely rub more.

    We are in the same boat, I currently have 275/65/20. I will level the front first and them maybe 3 inch lift.

    Most guys fit 295/70R18’s or 35’s with a 3/2. I have the former on my Tundra with +12 offset wheels on stock UCA’s and my alignment came out fine. Will be ordering aftermarket UCA’s somewhere down the road though.

    For wheels, stay in the +18 to +30 offset range to minimize trimming. Hell, even with my aggressive +12 offset I’ve only had to push the front liner forward, no CMC needed.

    Not sure why you would level front then do a 3" lift. Just do the 3" lift. Or do a 2" front and come back later with a 1" spacer. I am thinking when you say front level you are just going to put spacers in. Not sure I would bother if you going to turn around and do a proper 3" lift later.

    The debate going on in my head is between Toyo ATs and Cooper ST Maxx. Leaning towards the Coopers right now. Then comes size. 285/60/20 or 275/65/20. I am thinking that I want the little taller sidewall for the places I go off road. Mainly the ranch I hunt.

    I have only had the truck for 2+ weeks and I'm still learning. :)
