See! $5 difference between the two on install. Parts are going to vary from one manufacturer to the next and again from one shop to the next.

shouldnt you be able to fit 285's without a lvl thats what I am running is a 285/70/R17 but also with a 4x4 because with a 2" lvl I will be able to get 315's matbe 325's underneath it

here is a link for the 2.5" coil spring spacers...

http://www.autotrucktoys.com/ram/Day...8453C4675.aspx

Installed I payed 480, that was with the spacers, labor, new shocks and alignment...shop around, you will find the right price somewhere...

Or just order the parts yourself and have them installed for you, which ever you feel good with...

Just my .02

Also, I have pics of my 2wd leveled out under the thread "answers for all us 2wd guys"...if your interested in peaking...

i put in the 1.5" daystars ($100), bought from 4 wheel parts, installed myself, piece of cake, took about 1.5 hours to install, new shocks (ranch 5000 $200 something) and i run 305's on my truck.

my advice, if you have any mechanical sense, do the install yourself. as long as you follow the directions you wont have a problem.

it says you should get a coil spring compression tool, you dont need one, the arms drop down far enough.
