Default Dually leveling kits

I just bought a 2' hell bent leveling kit for my 06 dually. Thinking about putting bigger tires on it. What could I put on there with the leveling kit and what width could I go with if I put the 2' wheel spaces in the rear? Has anyone ever heard of the spacer breaking?

I havent heard of the spacers breaking, but with the wheels out so far it does put some stress on the bearings. it is a very cool look, however i am unsire of the largest size tire you can run on dualys.

I don't have any spacers, but I went down to les schwab and they test fitted a set of tires for free (I bought them afterward) so they didn't charge me to do it. running 255/85 r16 from stock 235/85 r16 without any suspension or wheel spacers.

See i want to put 305/70/17 which is 34's. A buddy of mine put the leveling kit on his 3/4 and through on some 35/12.5 but then again he does have a SRW. Do yall no if you need to do an alignment after putting the leveling kit on?

Cheap insurance. Your putting on new tires so I would at least get it checked. No sense in ruining a brand new set of tires.

it would be good to run it through the shop and make sure everything is straight.
