06 Mega leveled on 34's

Just thought I'd share some pics of my truck leveled with the HBS 2.5" kit. First pic is with leveling kit only, the others are with the Nitto Terra Grapplers 305/70/17 E, which measures right at 34". Also put 4 Bilstein 5100's on it. Tires clear everyhting and it rides great for the 3 miles I have driven it so far. As far as the installation of the kit, I'd say it was pretty simple, the only problem we ran into was the axle not dropping far enough to get the springs back in with the spacers. But with the help of a spring compressor and a bottle jack between the axle and frame it was a peice of cake and didn't have to take off a bunch of track bars and trailing arms. Took about 2 hours including the trip to Autozone for the spring compressors. I'm sharing this report as a thank you to everyone else that posted, I must have searched 100 posts to figure out the setup that I wanted.

Just measured my tires and they actually are closer to 33's. When I was doing all of my research the Nitto website says these measure 33.98. On my tape they measure more like 32.98. Will mounting these tires take off one inch? They still look good to me and wouldn't change a thing. Just wanted to specify for anyone else checking them out.
