Hey all,

I have a 09 Reg Cab 8ft. bed 4x4 with 17'' wheels. I want your suggestions on which leveling kit to go with (the front sits a hair too low). I'm thinking the daystar 1.5 kit will work...

Also, in hopes of filling the wheel wells better, what tire size would you suggest?

Love the truck- runs like an animal with the Hemi & 3.92's! superchips coming soon.

If you don't really use it as a truck, then why not lower the rear?

I just did a ReadyLift 2" front lift a couple of months ago. There are cheaper leveling kits out there, but ReadyLift is a great company, and they really stand by their products. I am currently running 35" Wrangler DuraTracs (well 315's = 34.5") on a 17" wheel. It's good that you have 17" wheels already, once you get to below 18"s the price for tires drops so much. I was able to get the duratracs in 315 for like $215 or something around there a tire.

- Thanks

P.S. remember to add the cost of an alignment, regardless of which leveling kit you get.

Yeah if you're not even using it as a truck you should just slam the back to equal it out...
