Ok so I just got a set of 285/55R20 Nitto Terra Grapplers...bought them used 80% tread left for $200...A good deal I'm thinking....but my ? is going from stock 17in wheels and tires to a 20in wheel and tire setup....what size leveling kit do I need for the front I want it level...no rake at all....

First question is 4x4? If so the closet spacer to level is 2.5, and the other option is adjustable bilsteins set at 2.8

And just in case you don't know...you don't need to level to run those tires.

I run 285/50/20's and haven't leveled truck ...no problems. I am considering leveling it though but haven't decided on doing the front with bisteins or rear with mcgaughy's 2" leveling springs.

As said above, you do not need to level. However, since the tires will be outside your fender you will reduce your travel by that much. Or, another way to say it is that all the travel you'll get is from the tire to the fender not the wheel well. The first time you hit a hard bump you're gonna wish you leveled.
