2 or 2.5 inch leveling kit? Which to get

I put 35's on the truck and they only rub when backing up while turning. Not much at all, just catching the mud flap. Im curious what is the best to go with the 2 or 2.5 inch. Thanks for info. Pictures of trucks will help also.

I got 2.5 coils from Thuren and some of his other goodies for my leveling kit. Did nothing to the rear except the bilstein 5100 shock.

2.5" Thuren Coils, Thuren Track Bar, 5100 Shocks, and Swaybar drop blocks. Rides like a dream compared to stock. Oh I also got the Thuren bumpstops which are good for when I get crazy over the speed bumps

So is a 2.5 front too high on its own for the truck to be level?

mine sits decently level. Don Thuren said that the coils would settle under the huge weight of the cummins after about a month or two. I like the look of it. My pic is about 2 days after putting the new springs in.

I think it is.

I have some pics with just the 2.5 on and it sat nose high,then I raised the rear 1.5 and it looks much better I think.Look in my pics for more shots.

I would think 2.5 is to much with no lift in the back. I have 2" and my truck sits level

I agree, 2" will fit your bill

Even with Ranch hands...
