I have 295/70-17 Nittos....the 285/75s were hard to get. These are almost exactly the same size.

Your truck is leveled, mine not, so I don't think 295 will fit

Stupid question, leveling kit is only for front? If my truck is 4wd do I need something for rear?

No because the 4x4's come with the front end lower from the factory. the level kit will basically raise the front to be even with the rear.

And in order to make even front and rear I need 2" leveling kit? I'm complete dummy so can you explain why factory settings is front lower than rear? Thx.

I think it has to do with the ride they want you to have...im not sure, someone else will have to chime in. But it doesn't make sense to me why they do it. I think its to save money since they use the same shocks that they put on the Durango. Plus i think its so when the rear is under load its even and not lower.

here is what you would need, plus longer shocks
