Default Finally got my truck leveled

So after having my leveling kit and new ball joints sitting around for four months, I finally most of it done. Got the leveling kit on and the right side ball joints done. Never done any front end work before but it wasnt bad at all. Hopefully next week Ill get the left side ball joints done and get an alignment then before long get some decent sized tires on there lol.

Heres a pic:

I'm torn between 265s and 285s. The 285s would look real good and help out a lot with traction in some of the nasty fire lanes but may rub and mileage would take a hit. 265s would probably fill the wheel wells up fine and give me enough traction for my purposes, but they're still kinda small. What would y'all suggest?

Your front end is definitely higher than the rear in that pic..

Oops. I thought it was lowered....

I run 265/70/17, same ones in the sig pic. It's plenty of tire.

It looks higher up front but the tape measure and the bubble level both say its almost exactly level.

Where are you measuring? Where are you putting the level?

I'd go with 265's that way you don't have to worry about rub and excess parts wear.
