Default Just wondering

I always read on these fourms for hours. Bunch of cool stuff. I was just wondering about tires and level. I have searched but cant really find an answer. I really want to get a 2.5 front and 2 inch blocks for the rear and I can get a good deal on some H2 take off tires which are 315/70/17s. I am thinking they will fit but wanted some answers from the pros before I waste my money. I have a 03 1500 hemi. it has the torsion keys up front. I have 285/70/17 toyo at on right now and they look small in the front with the front T-Bars cranked. Tell me what you guys think and what I should do if you have anything to suggest. Thanks in advance

You'll either need spacers for the rims or aftermarket rims to fit the pretty much 12.5" wide tire without rubbing. Height you should be fine.

Thats what I though. I just want a little more lift but need a decent size tire so it wont look too bad.

im running 1.5" spacers. bolt pattern 5x5.5. make sure you get hub-centric spacers.

also if you do 2.5" level in the front and 2" blocks in the rear you truck will have a lot of rake in the front

Awsome thanks. and I think I am just gonna stick with 2.5 in the front. Disturbedgators truck is the exact setup I like. Nice height and good size tires that dont look small like my 285/70's.
