Re: 2" and 2.5" lift options?

lol...stalkers

Actually I did install new leafs on all corners. However after I installed it the rear looked lower. After finding the leaf part number for rears it appeared they sent me 2" rear leafs with my 3" front leafs. Instead of me removing leafs, shipping back and getting new leafs I had them send me a 1.5" block kit to correct the height.

back to topic.....Not all tires are "true sized" meaning it may say 33x12.50 but not actually be 33" (my toyos were little over 33 and much wider). My advice is find the tire you want, look at the mfg actual specs first, then decide on wheel width and backspacing, then determine what size lift you need to not only clear them at the street driving but also be able to go offroad with them and clear the fender corners.
