Todd...it deffinitly looks nice, which kit did you go with? Hemi, whats the reasoning behind dropping from a 20" wheel to a 17"? Just to have more rubber all around for off road?

 

20" wheels limit your towing capacity by as much as 1000 lbs because of the tires that are made for that size rims. They also tend to be more expensive and, last time I checked, much more limited as far as makes/models available. Also, unless the truck is significantly lifted, the more aggressive tires just don't look as good on a 20" rim as they do on 17 or 18" rims, IMO.

 

I wish I could be more helpful lol....I really have no idea...I just took it to Good Year told them what I wanted and gave the guy the freedom to just do it...

I have seen his work before though so I pretty much just trusted him. If it helps the leveling kit was 220 bucks and 300 in labor to install...and the rear block lift was 285 installed.

 

I just picked up a hell bent steel leveling kit for my 2008 from a guy on here and it is 2.5 inches for the front. For my 2008 that will bring it to perfect level. Best way to get that is to measure the back from the bottom of the wheel to the wheel well and the same in the front. My difference is 2.5 inches. If you like the raked look then you could throw on some blocks on the back but I dont not. just my opinion. I might be wrong but dont the 2003 have a torsion bar that you could just turn to bring the front up??

17" rims are definitely the way to go, tires are so much cheaper plus they look better with some meaty a$$ MT tires.

 

Don't Recommend cranking up the stock keys unless its to fix Driver Side Sag.
The ready-lift keys work nicely for a 2 inch gain and you can get away from needing longer shocks. 305/65/17 or 285/70/17 will fit the 17" rim nicely and give you close to actual 32 inches (Not 33). I have gator mudflaps and both these sizes don't rub.
It takes several adjustments to get all 4 corners the same and you should get an alignement. To be honest I found the Truck smoother on the Highway.




Side Pic of Truck from last Fall. Front Leveled with the rear lifted another 2" as a result of HD 4/1 Leafsprings Installed. Just a Tad of rake for Towing and when I load her up it doesn't look saggy. (Mud Flaps went Back on in October).

 

Truck looks good, moparamman. Different!

Where did you get the leveling kit and how much was shipping to SouAB?
