Tf leveling kit. Perfect. Works great and I'd do it again, but 37s are already on the shopping list...

 

That is exactly what I was thinking. There is so much extra cost that goes into that extra 2" of tire!! I can be honest in that I don't go wheeling on a regular basis and when I do go it's nothing sooo crazy that 35's would have mad a difference. I guess I will have to kick this around til my tires are down to nothing and need to be replaced.. When you get the skids on post up some pics!! good luck

afdude87: I actually already have the teraflex leveling kit.. I love it! but I was just looking for just a little bit more lift.. and also to see if that little bit more would be worth it.. Hence the request for the pics.

Bareass: what is it exactly that your rubbing? My main concern was the front drive shaft rubbing just as it does with many of the 2 door autos w/ the TF 2.5 bb. I know most of the members have had to trim the front skid plate in order to prevent that. also replace the medal band holding the boot with a zip tie. If you have the time to post some pics I would be really grateful.

 

i'm rubbing the hell out of my fenders. nothing too serious, but its enough.

if you want to check lift your truck up take the front wheels off, unbolt the front shocks from the axle and drop the front axle slowly. drop it about 2 inches (you can measure from the bottom eye of the shock to the mounting whole) and see where your drive shaft is. if you get new shocks and it droops too low you can always put in limiting straps to not let the axle drop down, or cut a notch out of you skid plate.

 

Here is mine with 1.75" Daystar Spacers and 285s. No DS issues but a few ESP problems...

 

Are those 33x12.5?

 

Does anyone know If a 33x12.5 will rub with a teraflex leveling kit and wheel spacers with the stock Rubi wheels?

 

stock tires are only 10.5" wide. Most wheel spacers will push your wheel out 1.5" from the stock position on the hub effectively giving you the same distance as a wheel with 4.75" back spacing which a lot of 17's have (our stock wheels are 6.25"). If you have a 12.5" wide tire even though its 2" wider total, its only an inch wider in each direction. So with the wheel spacers you'll actually still have an extra .5" of clearance than you had before running the 12.5 wide tires. Took me a minute to get my mind around all that before I got mine.
