Default Kore Suspension

Does anyone have or knows if the Kore Recon system make your truck sit level or would it be best to just get the HD Leveing kit and new shocks for the rear.

Somewhere around here you should find a thread regarding that system and a few others. some members got together and each had different systems and all took them through their paces and rated and critiqued them. I will try to find it for you.

You can read about our suspension comparision in January's issue of OffRoad magazine. It's on the shelves now.
Unfortunately we didn't have a Recon equipped truck to join in on the fun. We'll be doing this again in the spring and hopefully
we'll have agreater variety of systems out here.

Sorry, I'm not sure of what the backspacing is, but I can do a search for you and find out.
Absoultely no rubbing issues at all, even before the KORE install. But I was running the BFG KO 315/70 's at the time= 34.5 inch tire.

I read somewhere that they where 5-1/2" backspacing and 8-1/2" wide. I was trying to making sure I don't want make the same mistake twice with suspension kit and wheels/tires. I was looking at some 18x9 with 5-1/4" backspacing and some with 5" but didn't know if they would rub. Can you send me some pics of your truck or post some up.
