After a long debate, I have decided to go with a 2-2.5 inch leveling kit and probably 33x12.5x20 tires. Either cooper sst or toyo mt's. I just can't afford a suspension lift at this time. Will 33x12.5 fit on the stock 20's with a leveling kit? Will there be any rubbing issues? What do you guys think about the tire choices? I think I am going with hell bent steel for the leveling kit 80 bucks shipped and if I have the dreaded wobble in 4wd they will take the kit back. I will give it a shot. I will install it myself just in case to save money.
thanks

 

i got a 2.5 inch leveling kit on my truck and got 35's on with no rubbing issue or death wobble it's a rough country

 

I have had great results with the TOYO's....

 

Do you have any pics? Are you running the factory wheels?

 

what size toyo's are you running? How do they handle in the winter?

 

Size, I will have to get back to you on... As far as winter, OUTSTANDING!! I hardly ever have to use 4wd unless I am playing around! I have driven through Montana in 2wd going 75 the whole way! I do want to say that sipping them gives even better traction, but the do chunk out if you do so I would avoid that. I have ran the 8 and 10 ply, and both do great! The 10 ply were used for my F-250 towing 15,000 lbs and lasted forever!

 

first the factory 275/60/20 are 33x11x20 so your truck already has 33s on it the height isnt the problem with the stock rims its the width anything wider and it will rub at full turn unless you put on rims with a different backspacing.so 33x12.5x20 will fit with or without the kit but unless you change rims they will rub at full turn.i have the hellbent 2" kit with over 40,000 miles on it with no issues.two things i would recommend is first during the install be careful not to over extend the cv joints and get the tire and rims road force balanced

 

i have my tires on the stock wheels with no wheel spacers

 

Do you think I will need to put on a wheel spacer, so it won't rub?

 

not trying to hijack the thread, but it is relevant -

hey RX1, do you have any pics with the BFG AT's? Did your mileage go to the crapper? I am gonna go HellBent steel 2 inch level and I just cant make up my mind if i want to go with the BFG AT's or dura tracs (I know they are totally different animals). Thanks a million!
