Leveling kit???

silantfactor · 06-10-2009, 05:52 PM

I want to buy a leveling kit for my cummins, i want to put 35x12.50s on but i read on suspensionconnection.com that ill only be able to run 32's! I see guys running around on 35's so whats the deal can i run 35's or not.

I just intalled a 2.5 leveling kit on my truck and installed HELO 791 17x9 rims with Mickey Thompson MTZ 315/75/17 tires and I get just a little rub in full turn! I just have to trim a little plastic off the back part of the inner fnder liner, and I will be good to go. Alot depends on how wide your rim is, and the offset. Good luck to ya!

Ill be running a 18x10 and im hoping for a 5.5 offset i didnt check that out yet, and ive seen alot of threads with 37's and either stock or a leveling kit. but i wanted to know if ill run into any problems with clearing 35's

its all in the offest and width of the wheel!!! but you should have little or hardly any rubbing!

2" Pro Comp Kit, 35-12.50-17 tires on stock wheels. I would say Yes. However, and I may get blasted for this. But, I would also change your front shocks to a
+2 longer shock. I changed all 4 and I used Bilstein 5100's and love them. Also, make Sure you get it aligned right after the kit goes on. Most places that install the kits will also include and alignment in the price. JMHO

Yea i didn't think about the shocks, i am going to order the parts in 2 weeks and when i get back from military training in a month everything should be here. And at that time ill go shock shopping. That truck looks good, hopefully mine will look just as good. And when i get back ill have my truck straight piped 45ed out the back with black chrome tips. I gotta figure out how to put pictures on the site, farewell and i look forward to reading your poasts when i get back from training. HOOAHH
