Finally got my HBS 2" level kit done today. I went with 2" because I would like a little rake to it. I sometimes haul some weight in the back so I don't want to look high in the front at those times. It took a little longer than I thought but I got it done in the afternoon. Thanks to all of you for your tips and suggestions on this project.:birgits_tiredcoffee

I see what you mean. Looks like you had quite a load in there!


Wife is telling me my tires look too small now. I guess 34" A/T's are coming soon!

What a keeper. What size are you getting? The stock 275/65R20s are 33" on the outside, so make sure you get enough to notice it.

Errm...275/60R20, whichever is the stock size. It escapes me right now.

This thread helps as I'm trying to figure out how much lift I want to do. I want to start with it being level then go from there.

I want to go with 275/65R20 with the stock rims for now. Can't afford too much at one time, so have to stay with stock rims. Might hold onto these tires for a little while to get some life out of them. I really want to get the tuner next as soon as the tunes for '12 are out.

Looks good. I'm in your same boat with wheels and tires. Need to save my pennies through the winter and hopefully get them in the spring.

I've done some looking cause I might keep the stockers on for a while. Theres some ok priced tires in the 285/65R20 size that would fit the stock rims, also 325/60R20s and 35x12.50R20 will fit.

That's a great wife ya got there and she's right!

Mine told me after I bought my Ram that it was too quiet (she was used to my SRT8 and her Tahoe) and I fixed the problem pretty quickly. She commented that it sounded a lot better with the Magnaflow on it..LOL

yer truck looks good!
