Leveling ideas

Just wondering how you guys with the D-Series trucks are leveling your front end on your trucks? Need to find a solution to run my bigger tires so they don't rub.

Mine will sit level with a load of dirt in the back. Really just some new springs should help lift it up a little, the stock ones sag after time. I wouldn't use a tire bigger than 235's up front. Just my opinion.

Yeah most 2wd only run 215, some run 235, haven't heard of someone running 245's.

Do you run the stock-replacement shock or use a longer one with them?

The sames happens with the 245s I'm running on my truck. I just did new shocks on my truck so springs would definitely make sense why it is sagging.
