Is there a real noticeable difference between a 3" lift and a 2.5" leveling kit it dosent seem like a half inch would be a drastic difference but the price difference makes you think otherwise

As BBartow stated i have that one [2 1/2] on my truck and running 33's i suppose 35's would fit for street driving but would most likely rub in tight turns and definitely on the trail, not bad for under 300$ with shocks!! I purchased an adjustable track bar from D.T. Fab for an additional 400$ well worth the price. I'm running Hercules Trail Diggers 285/75/16s 33's i'm happy with the setup.
asking for opinions on mud tires is about like asking what exhaust sounds best. lol but as for a guy who works in a tire shop, I do lean towards Firestone/bridgestone myself, and also like generals. don't know much about the FS destination MT's as to how they wear yet, but they look sharp and like they'd have a good bite. general grabber red letters are one of my personal favs for offroad tires, and I've heard lately that Federal couriga(spelling? lol) have been wearing like concrete without breaking the bank.Are those rims u got offset any? I still have the stock rims on mine but have been wanting to get 285s. These 265s look kinda small lol g they are good ties tho kenda klevers 265/75-16. Got about 40-50,000 on em now. How you like those Hercules?

The 3" is front AND REAR, includes springs and shocks and other meh stuff.
I'll leave my opinion of rough country off this forum.
Its 3" in the front 2" in the back. I've talked to a sales guy cuz I was trying to buy just the stuff that the 3" kit has that the 2.5 doesn't. Shocks are the same, uses the same 2" block in the back. Just has springs instead of spacers and comes with control arms and drop brackets for the sway bar.
3" kit will be a true 3" vs the 2.5" spacer being put on top of any spring sag there is in the stockers. Will ride better too
