Default How do you think this would look?

I want to get a 2" leveling kit and 3" body lift on my truck, but dont know how it would look with the tires i have now. The size on the tire is 305-35-24. Do you think it would look good or would the tires be to small? look at the pic on my signature.

Thanks

It would look fine. Then add some mudders after your current tires wear out.

im with EJM on this one. but if your inpatient like me go ahead and sell your current tires on craigslist like i did and upgrade to some big meats. Ive got 35" trail grapplers and i love em. I had the mud grapplers previously and those are nice too, but really loud on the road.

but mine are on 24" Rims so it would be almost impossible to sell them to someone lol. plus i paid $407 a tire so i would have to wait for them to wear off. but if you guys think it would look alright with the current tires i think ill go ahead and lift it in the spring. How much do you think a 2" level kit and 3" body lift would cost me if i took it to a shop?

ive heard people getting the leveling kit done for about $100, not sure about the body lift but i wouldnt think much more than a few hundred bucks.

holy **** are you serious?????? I'd sell the rims and tires and go with an aftermarket 17 or 18" rim and cut the cost of those d@mn tires in half. I couldn't imagine paying over 1600 dollars for four tires. wow!

I agree completely!! get rid of the 24's and the rubberbands, drop to at least 20's or less if you want to lift. or keep the wheels and tires and dont lift, LOWER!!! those wheels would be good at stock height or lower
