Default Will a 2" level look okay?

Hey guys, I am getting ready to put an HBS 2" level on my truck tomorrow along with 35's and 1/4" wheel spacers. I was just wondering if there's anybody on here with a pic of their truck with just a 2" level just so I can see what its going look like. I have heard of a lot of guys using 2.5" levels on these trucks so I am kind of skeptical right now. Thanks!

You may need more than 2" to fit a 35" tire under there. I have a 2.5" front and 1.75" rear kit, and 35's would barely fit. You plan to use the stock wheels right?

There are alternatives though...you can get a tire close to 35" diameter, but you'll have keep the width under 12.5.

I'm putting 1/4" wheel spacers on to keep them from rubbing.

That's because it's not. A 2" kit will not "level" the truck, you have 3" of rake back to front from the factory, so any level kit will only help to remove some rake, not truly level it.

I guess I'm gonna have to take my tape measure back to Home Depot and tell them that Whiteout08 says that the measurements on it are incorrect. You have no idea what you are talking about. My truck is perfectly leveled, not every truck is the same height, and if you read my sig you will see that I also have airbags which I keep air in and may lift my back a little. As far as the OP, you keep asking the same questions over different threads. Man up, put your leveling kit on and see for yourself.

Haha, jesus christ man, someone a little sensitive? If you want to spout off and say I don't know what I'm talking about, I'll plainly tell you to go F yourself. Don't be a douchebag, provide some proof of your measurements to back your statement and help this guy out...it's all in the details, which clearly you decided to leave out. You're a perfect example of why I never come to this site.

As you said, every truck is different, MY truck wasn't even level with a 2.5" front spacer...so clearly the measurements on a truck with airbags are different from that of a truck without.

OP, I agree Mr. Sensitive...go with your gut and get it done.

Then how come when I see these trucks with a 2.5", they look completely level?

Go "F" myself? Who's really Mr. Sensitive? If that's the way you feel then go ahead and just White yourself Out, believe me, you won't missed.
