Re:leveling kit

I put the kit on the front and it was still about an inch lower. The kit was very easy to install. The 315's also fill up the gaps very nicely. I do rub with stock wheels at full lock. Besides that, it runs great.

Re:leveling kit

You might not need a leveling kit. DodgeMan01 says he is running 315/75R16's and has NO rubbing at all, with stock rims. I couldn't believe it but he swears it's true. There's a thread a while back when we were discussing tire sizes and what would fit.<br><br>I KNOW that 305/70R16's will only rubb a little on the bottom axle tracking arm at full lock, with stock 16x7.5&quot; aluminum wheels, but the same size tire rubs the fender well with 16x10&quot; Mickey Thompson Classic II's (4 3/8 backspacing), and requires the leveling kit.<br><br>My truck sits different and it took a little getting used to at first, but I like it/don't notice it now. My truck did site a little lower in the front. 1700 lbs. of cement in the back almost brought the back down to level with the front before the leveling kit.<br><br><br><br>Chris

Re:leveling kit

After seeing Stameys truck at the last meet, I went out and ordered a leveling kit for mine. I got it from Jackit.com and installed Bilstein shocks that are 2&quot; taller. It was pretty easy to install but I needed to compress my springs a couple of inches to reinstall them, the axle just wouldnt drop away far enough even w/ the sway bar disconnected. Mine is still slightly taller in the back but looks good. The new Bilstiens really ride good compared to the stock shocks. Tim
