Rough Country 2.5" leveling kit and 295/65R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers

[gtex1970]

got the leveling kit done and upgraded the stock tires to some 295-65r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. the difference may look subtle to some, but I'm happy with the results. before:

I think it looks great! I've been shopping tires and different sizes and I think I just found the perfect combination. Perfect look.

I think it looks much better.

thanks guys. so far, so good. the more I see it , the more I like it. definitely the look and function i was going for.

Looks great!..Any road noise from the tires?

 

[SwollenMonkey16]

Very nice!

 

[gtex1970]

not noticing much more road noise than the factory Firestones. even hit the toll road yesterday at 80mph and it didn't seem much louder, if at all :--)

may need an alignment after the leveling kit.

A true 35 inch tall tire. Im going with the same size on my 1500 when my Terra Grapplers finally give up. Stupid things have 42k on them and still have a ton of tread. Not that its a bad thing but I want bigger tires!

Just got my Nitto ridge grapplers as well. Love them. 35x12.5 18.

Don’t have that issue with a 3/4 ton and heavier, they wear through shoes pretty quick

My terra grapplers refuse to give up. So I wait.

I also went with the 2.5” Rough Country leveling kit and Nitto Trail Grapplers. Very quiet, great ride, and performs very well in mud and snow.

With the leveling kit do I need to replace the shocks? Mine came with the upgraded bilistine shocks?

Looks great, white FTW

You will need Shock extension Brackets.

 

[gtex1970]

the rough country kit comes with the shock brackets, so you can use your original shocks

 

[Buckeye2019]

Awesome thanks ..guys

Some kits come with bilstien shocks that are the proper length so you don’t need to use the extensions. Reach out to the Lvl kit manufacture. For instance I know the Hell Bent Steel lvl kit comes with the corrected length shocks so you don’t need brackets.
