Default Best leveling kit

Just put 305/70R16's on the truck with 16x10 rims and the only issue I have with fitting is that when I turn all the way either direction the tire rubs the plastic inner fender well where it sticks out towards the tire. I want to get a leveling kit for it and want to get suggestions on where to get one at the best price. I would usually want springs, but I just want something cheap to fix the rub. would really like to find used ones but probobly will have to buy new.

Suggestions on leveling kits?

If you're just looking for a quick, cheap fix, someone on here had found a 1" gasket from summit (IIRC) that should help you out. It was only about $12 or something. Or you can do a little better and get the 2" leveling kits. Topgun Customz seems to be popular on this site (I personally wasn't extremely impressed), but they have the 2" kits for $80 or something. If you have a local fab shop nearby, I'd bet you could get them to make you some spacers for under $50.

I am looking on ebay for some spacer kits. I founs some for as low as 65 dollars. I may just get one of them for the time being until I can get the 2" front springs and 1" rear leafs

Ihave a 2" kit in 01 1500 from hell bent steel ( http://www.hellbentsteel.com/). I am very happy with this kit, it a solid steel well built kit. Cost about $70. I have put these thing through hell (offroad) and never had a problem.

took about 2 hours. Do not forget you will need to get your front end done (toe in). One problem I had was I tried to do one side at a time, did not work because I could not get the spring out. Just drop both side and it will go smooth.

Because you are pulling the shocks and springs off. Once you take those off they lose there alinement (off camber).
