I am standing by.

 

I understand the car wash deal but why would 13.50s be so drastic. An inch really isnt that much more.

 

Did you see how close my tire is to the upper control arm? If you start changing wheels and backspacing you can run into trouble with just an inch.

 

I wouldn't serously make tire size decisions based on car washing ability. That was just kind of a joke. Like I said, the Jeep has 13.50 width tires on it, and I just take it to a different car wash. The car wash I was referring to is an expensive top end car wash that has attendants that clean the interior and dry the exterior afterwards. You have to pull your vehicle into the wash staging area, and park your vehicle with one of the front tires in a little tire dolly thing, and put the transmission in neutral. Then you get out of your vehicle and the tire dolly thing pulls your car through the car wash. The tire dolly thing is barely wide enough for a 12.50 width tire. With any of the "normal" drive thru car washes it would not matter if it was a 13.50 tire. Sorry for the "diversion".

tell your lover it's just an extra inch, see what she thinks...

 

That's funny...and true!

 

is there any special tools that i would need to install the leveling kit??

i have a lift and all the major stuff but i dont have a spring compressor or anything like that.

 

Here's the installation instructions for the kit I was looking at. It seems pretty straight foward. I'm just waiting 'cause the service manager at my dealer said it would void my powertrain warranty. 1200 miles is too soon to lose that. There's another dealer locally, I'm going to check with them and see if they install it, they will warranty it. I don't know if they will since I didn't buy the truck there. Hope this helps.
