Thanks! No rubbing at all. They are 35x12.50 toyos load range E, not the metric size.

My kit is the Readylift 2" kit. I got mine off of Ebay but you can find the kit a lot of places.

did you need to get new, longer shocks? or do the stock ones still fit?

Pro-tab- Glad I could help! When are we going to see pics of your truck?
Calebs- Thank you!
CC-I would do a leveling kit even w/ stock tires. I just think it makes the truck look better.
darrenb- Some kits recommend longer shocks, and some don't. I stayed on the safe side and went with longer shocks. I actually drove around with my stock shocks for about 2 weeks until my Ranchos came in. I didn't notice much of a difference in ride quality w/ stock shocks and never noticed any bottoming out (or overextending) of the shock even with mild wheeling. So, I think the stock shocks would be okay. I wouldn't try to run Baja with it like that though!

Hey CumminsCrazed, imho Id go with leveling kit first. Why be sorry later? You can buy a leveling kit for cheaper than you can buy one tire. if you do it yourself all you will need is an alignment when your done. Having a leveling kit with stock tires isnt going to look much different than stock except your truck will have a better stance, and look better. Im doing mine after I can get airbags on the rear. I want truck level when towing. Chow!
