Why do you want to lift a 2wd?

I have the Truxxx 2-1/2" front kit with a 1" spacer lift int he rear.

Wheels are 18 x 9 Ultra's with Nitto Terra Grappler 285/65R18 tires.

not looking at a full lift. just want to bring the front level with the back. i like the 20-24'' wheels and all but id prefer the more off road type look.

i looked at the truxxx kit but it seems its only good for the 4wd. maybe im wrong? thanks again!

btw is your 4wd or 2wd?

quit it, level the back and get the factory 20"s and some nice sidewall action and mushroom stamp it.
man your truck sounds good... who ever did that did a good job.. maybe even post a picture up or something.

well I didn't level the sub

but I went with 20x8.5 weld cheyenne 8's (one of the few non-thuggish, and actually load rated rims out there) and 285/55R20 nitto terra grapplers, slight amount of noise but tolerable on the highway, fine in the rain snow mud whatever. good all around 'truck' tire.

Obviously those are 8 lug rims but it might give you an idea. Now if I can only find a decent picture...





I apologize, can't see a whole heck of alot and that was off the phone....but might give you an idea size wise with 20's and AT treads vs. onroad. Obviously thats loaded with a trailer (weight distributing on the enclosed, just a ball with the open and the avalanche and a lil over capacity) Can probably grab more if you need.
