I've looked at the Daystar site, and their "leveling kit" only has the parts for the front end. Their "lift" kit also includes the parts for the rear springs spacers, and is supposed to be around 2" of lift in the back. Is that correct? I hear other leveling kits only have a 3/4" of lift in the back. Thanks.

the center plastic chrome pieces just pop out. i spray painted those myself.

to get the rims blasted to bare aluminum and powdercoated was $300 total. got them all done for less than the cost of one aftermarket wheel. and i got the look i was going for cheap.

So, would spacers or something fix that? I wanted to go to 35's and I was thinking about doing a leveling kit instead of a lift kit. However, I don't want any rubbing because I go full turn whenever I pull into or out of my parking spot. Just wondering what would need to be done to fix that.

Great looking truck. The powder coat came out looking nice.

most people that have the leveling kit and 35s dont have any rubbing....the 12.50s may rub on the upper control arms a bit so then it would be ok to add about 1/4" spacers....but if he is rubbing on his fenders anywhere adding spacers would make it worse...im running a leveling kit with a 35 inch bfg but its only 11.7".....i think u would be ok tho running 12.50 though
