Default Leveling

I will soon be ordering a leveling kit and rear add a leafs for my truck.

How much lift would these give me? It says like 1.5-2.5? So which is it lol?

Also opinions on removing my running boards and painting my chrome mirrors black? Also if i read correctly(Searched on here) if i toss a 2.5in leveling kit front and rear on my truck, I can run 285-75-16s on my truck correct?

I have 285's on mine, stock suspension. They rub a bit only at full turn on the wheel, and they hit the suspension arms so a leveling kit wouldn't solve it. I need either wheel spacers or to adjust the little stop bolts on the knuckle.

I am also ordering a leveling kit very soon, most likely from hell bent steel, but not to address my rubbing problem, just to level out the truck

until they pop. then you might want new shocks.

i'm going to make a shock extender sometime soon for mine to put them back at stock height. i may make it a high priority if i do pop one of mine.
