close to pulling the trigger on TF leveling kit with MB72s and 33in GY Duratrac. Seeing what experience you guys have had and what you would recommend. Thanks!

I have the TF Leveling Kit and like it very much. It really got rid of the factory rake. I also have 33s. AND at a recent Meet & Greet at my Jeep club, one of the veteran members was surprised it was a Leveling kit "Wow, really? It looks pretty lifted for just a leveling kit"

Cool indeed!

if you can get the 12 or 12.5 inch wide duratracs get them over the 285's. Looks much better.

i already got them picked out, 33/70/15 or 305 i think it is. Will i need new shocks with a leveling kit? i had a leveling kit installed on a 2006 ram quad cab, the front shocks were starting to go out not long after the install. can i expect the same thing?

Looks great. When you installed your front TF swaybar links was it a direct bolt on or did you have to drill the hole bigger in your sway bar to install them? Thanks...

Will 12 or 12.5's fit on factory rims or did I miss something?

from my understanding they will fit, but you will need spacers
