Ever since I got my truck I've always had a lift or a level in mind I was thinking a level with 32s or a 6 inch lift and 32s or 35s does anyone have any before and after pictures? And how did it affect your fuel economy? If I go with a level and a bigger tire how much will my mileage go down? Its not like thats a factor on my decision to do this to my truck or not but I'm just wondering. I was thinking a level is a cheaper route slap the level on then get the tires but how much of a noticeable difference is it?
Truck will be getting a makeover this summer, should of just bought a different truck but I love the one I have now. Lol and no more loans.

 

Angela, you should be able to go bigger than 32's with a level. Get rims with the right offset/backspace and you should be able to go 34 comfortably. I wasn't so much worried about the mileage as the ride. But I finally got mine leveled and added 4 new shocks (Rough Country kit with leveling keys and nitro shocks). Now I wish I had done it long ago because it still rides great. It's a bit different ride but still a good one. My mileage is lower but it wasn't an awful difference. And I'm not sure what had the most affect on the mileage because I did it all around the same time. Below are pix of my truck, first basically stock, then leveled with stock 20" rims and OEM tires, and then what it basically looks like today (aside from the plasti-dipped badging). I'm happy with it and don't feel the need to lift it any further at all. I just changed the oil yesterday, and though it was easy enough at stock height to do it with no ramps, it is a dream now to just slide under and get to the oil pan and the filter with ease.

 

Do not get a 6 inch lift with 32 inch tires! Everyone will laugh at you lol. If you go 6 inch you'll want to go either 34 or 35. But you'll see about a 2 MPG drop probably, at least thats what I saw with my 6 inch lift. If you go with a level I personally would try to avoid a coil spacer and find longer coils instead. Or lift spindles if they have those for your year truck. If you do the level remember to buy new, longer shocks as well. If you get a lift kit you'll get shocks with it.

And greg if you think oil changes are easy with a level imagine with a 6 inch lift

So something like this looks like something I would be needing

 

Looks good. Although I've never seen keys that lift more than 2.5" but I'm sure it's legit. And looks like a good price. I'm assuming you have a 4x4, because if not then thats the wrong kit

 

Its a 4x4 yes what tires would I get to go with that? I am going to get the local truck accessories place to install so I'll make sure they feel good about it going on before I place an order

 

Stock

Level and 2 inch blocks on 35's

6 inch lift, level, 4 inch blocks and an add a leaf

With more flare

 

WOW thats owning it right there

 

If you want a cheap A/T for the looks and pretty good functionally I would say Nitto Terra Grapplers or Cooper Discoverer A/T3s and thirdly Cooper Zeon LTZs

 

Thanks Angela!
I have a set of 33 inch Pro Comp A/T's for sale, still on the stock 20 inch rims if anybody is interested
