Leveling kit needed ???

deer123 · 09-20-2009, 11:07 PM

The tire guy says I need a leveling kit, but I don't think I do.
I'm going to buy Moto Metal 955 18X10 with 4.5" bs, tires are Nitto Terra 325/60/18.. Can anyone with a similar setup please let me know if a stock setup will rub.. Thank you in advance..

I think the backspacing is what's really gonna get you. You'd have a better chance of not having rubbing issues if you went with a 5.5" or 6" backspaced wheel.First off, how wide of a rim is it 9" or 10". That tire is approx. 33.5" tall. I think you'll minimally need a leveling kit. If you wanted to go to a 35" or larger you'd minimally need a 4" lift. Skyd Ram is really good w/ clearance issues and suspension along with a many others around here.
