Question I know, I know...Leveling kit...

So I just put 275 65 Nitto Terra Grapplers on my truck, I absolutely love these tires. They look damn mean...Anyways, They are rubbing when I make a sharp turn, I.E. In a parking spot. I really don't want to mess up the tires or my truck...So I am thinking about putting a 2 inch lift on the front end of the truck, Does anyone think this will help? Here is a pic of the truck and my tires, haha. I have a 2WD, Just found some sites that offer a leveling kit, but they have a warning saying that I might need new longer shocks.

Thanks in advanced until I get back on.

If you don't want to level the truck the other thing you can do is wheel spacers to stick them out another 1" or get different rims with more back space to them.

Dude, I love your set up on your truck! those mudgrapples are amazing! Every car place in my town will most likely rape me on labor charges, where did you get your kit from?

You should post up some links of exactly what you did to your truck. I wanting to say you said in the Black Rims thread that yours was lifted 4". And your tires are the same size as mine. So I'd like to know what you did so I can do that on mine, or something to get some nice height and still not look ghey with the wheel well room.

And nice looking truck you got. Those tires should help to get you through moderate conditions. And you should level that truck, definitely. The only bad part is the 2wd part, but that's if it were mine, I need to have 4wd in my truck.

Congrats on the Terra Grapplers, I have the same size on mine but don't have any rubing even off road. I would level it if you are.
