So I had the HBS 2" level kit installed today, it looks awesome! Haven't had it aligned yet, but it drives great. No difference from stock ride. Very small vibration on hard acceleration in 4x4, but nothing to make it not worth the look. My tires will be here next week, I will update pics with them installed.

Measurments (from wheel center to wheel well lip):
Rear stock: 23.5"
Rear w/ level: 23.5"
Front stock: 21"
Front w/ level: 22.75"

It kept about a .75" rake, which is exactly what I wanted (wanted to keep a small amount of the factory rake).

The ground isnt perfectly level, and the side pics make it look like it has more rake than it really does, but the front angle pics really show the true leveled look much better. Hope this helps anyone toying with the idea of leveling their truck. I highly reccommend it!

Oh hell yeah.....looks great.....

I bet you can't wait to get bigger tires now!

 

I also went with the HBS kit a while back. Very good quality and not expensive at all. I don't believe my ride changed at all however, I'm running 10 plies and they are kinda hard anyway.

 

Nice! Mine were delivered on Friday, now I just have to find time to put them on!

 

Thanks for the compliments, the tires were shipped out today so hopefully I will have them on by the end of the week, ill shoot some pics of the finished product and post em up. I'm pretty excited to see the final outcome!

 

What tires are you getting? What size?

 

Going with BFG AT's, I have had them on two previous vehicles and had great luck with them. Size is 285/65/20, on the factory rims, the tires measure to 34.7 inches tall and 11.5 wide. The factory tires measure 32.9 tall and 10.8 wide, so it's not a drastic change, but should be just enough for a beefier look without sacrificing ride and mpg...

 

Here are the 285/65/20 BFG AT's on the truck. No rubbing at all, even at full turn. I am super happy with the ride and even happier with the look. Just changes the whole stance of the truck. It is pretty much the exact same height now as a stock 2500. Let me know what you all think!

 

Looks great man! Can't wait to throw some new tires on my truck as well.

 

I've been beating myself up trying to decide what size to get. I think this may have made up my mind.
