So I'm looking to level my truck but plan on running stock height tires and don't want to put stress on cv shafts, ball joints... so I thought I could level the rear but it is 4x4 and I like going off road. Would this look weird with mud terrains? Anyone do this or have similar pics?

I have a 2/3 drop on my 4x4 and I love the look of my toyo AT2s

Well your already off to a bad start - sorry. You wanna go off road, but you wanna level it (drop the rear 2")... the ball joints and CV's will be least of your worries, you need t level at the other end of the truck.

Here is my 4wd with a 2" rear drop and 305/55/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers...

How did those Nitto's wear on you? I've 2 set's and never got more than 40K out of them. I did however get almost 55K out of my Trail Grappler's.

Those tires were only on the truck for about 2 months before I decided to go lower. I don't think I have ever owned a set of tires long enough to wear them out. I have run terra grapplers on 4 trucks though, and never noticed any faster wear or any problems with the tires at all. I would definitely run them again if I had a need for a larger tire.

Sorry I fell of the grid. Thanks for the replies. Thanks for the pictures too but now I see I don't want it that low.
