I recently had to downgrade my truck ( long story ) from my 16 cummins 4x4 to a 14 2500 5.7 2x4. Man what a change...


Anyway, I am starting over on mods now. As I shop for a leveling kit for the front all I find is for 4x4. The same kit should work for both 4x4 and 2x4 right? Or is there difference? Also when it comes to tire selection are there any differences in tire clearance ( after leveling ) on the 2x4 vs 4x4? It seems to me there should be because the stock height is so much different.

I had 35 Toyo Open countrys on my 16 and they fit perfectly with no rub at all after leveling. Id love to do a similar setup again....

If I have to go beyond leveling for the 35's what are the lift recommendations?

4x4 vs 4x2 leveling kits are different and not interchangeable.

Unless its a radius arm suspension?? I am seeing that on some sites ( reputable ones ) that sell lifts.
