Well the tires that are on there are Michelin ltx ms2 and there like a 70k tire and have about 75% tread left,

so when they ever wear out im probably gonna go with 285 BFG AT's, or some copper discoverers(i think that is what they are called)

i just love the look of the BFG AT's, and my Dad just got some discoverers for his truck and ill see how he likes em, plus i don't go mudding so im not gonna go with a big mud tire.

Im sure if i went with the 2k helpers springs it woulda raised it a little more,

But the 1k's i got probably raised it and inch or inch and a half(i didnt measure) and thats at max adjustment.

With just the leveling kit the back sat a little lower than the front, which some people like, but i personally dont, so i just wanted it to be level or a little higher. and on flat ground it looks just a little higher than the front.

Ohh and thanks for the compliments everyone.

Well i personally did the helpers, but my dad did the leveling kit, but i could have done it, both came with instructions

Helpers you just jack the back of the truck(on the frame) up till the wheels are about ready to leave the ground, then you just sit the helpers on top of the leave springs (ohh, had to cut off the things that hold the stock leaf springs in line) and you just tighten em down to the adjustment you want.
(and those were just mine, others are more complex)

Took my dad about an hour with interruptions to do the leveling kit.
Helpers took about 45 mins.

Which brand of helpers did you go with? My leveling kit made my front higher and I want to fix it.
