leveling kit and 315's...pics anyone?

My truck just sits too low in the front...maybe due to the cattle crusher on the front ... I don't know. I was wondering if anyone was running the leveling kit with 315's on their truck? If so, I would like to see some pics as I am thinking of doing this myself. I'm trying do decide between the leveling kit or a 4" kit...the leveling kit is just so much cheaper and I'm kinda strapped for cash.

Also, how wide are the stock wheels?

Thanks alot,
Ryan

For about the same price as a leveling spacer,
you can get a new set of springs that will get the same amount of lift.
Skyjacker D25 springs.
Assuming the Cattle Crusher is a heavier bumper, best bet would be the newer springs.

Installation is the same amount of work and skill level.

315's on stock rims will rub the control arms at almost full steering lock.
Most tire manufacturers don't recommend mounting them on that narrow of a rim, but many have without adverse effects.

Stock steel rims are 16x7.5, stock alloys are 16x8

Check out the members photos, there are many in there with leveling kits or D25 springs.

That's because this is a really old thread.
We had at least one server crash that destroyed a lot of pictured in peoples albums, and they didn't bother to replace them.
