I would stick with tire load ratings over the D & E rating.
There is alot of D rated tires with a higher load rating than E`s.

You have the kore kit? I'm looking at just doing the HBS kit...probably going with the 2.5 and put a 1" block in the rear.

I'd love to do a nice kit, but many have said there is almost no difference beside a little ride quality...but it is tempting.

Anyone got any prices? I can't see paying 500 for a kore/lorenz kit when a 6" kit is 789 w/o shocks...

I'm trying to do it right...but at the same time why pay so much for a 2" kit...even though it does have 5100s

I would go with the carli kit i wish i had.... ride quality is un real. Rock & Roll Offroad is who id go with for the best price. just think man you get what you pay for.......

I was looking at the core level kit...and 37 km2's (most likely). But at that point I was looking...why not spend the extra 200 for the 6" lift and do 37's on 20's...it's like 1500 extra for the 6" on 20's and 37's...but thats a different thread. Like i said this all goes back to not hurting the towing...

2 things:

1.) Comparing a performance suspension such as a KORE or Carli or Thuren suspension to a 6" Superlift or Tuff Country or any of those is apples and oranges. When it comes to the suspension on these trucks, you really DO get exactly what you paid for.

2.) If you ever plan on leaving the hardball with your 5er or G/N in tow, you should forget about lifting the truck unless you plan to have a custom G/N built with an extra tall neck or have your 5er lifted. While a lifted truck will clear the G/N or 5er while rolling down a straight road, as soon as you start bending and turning, the liklihood of you scrubbing the cab with the neck of the trailer becomes very high. You say you don't want to hurt the towing. If that's truly the case, then the "safe" bet would be to level it, put 35's on it, and call it a day. If you want to live a little more dangerously level it, put 37's on the stock wheels, and watch your cab corners and bed sides whenever you leave pavement. If you want a truck that is more show than go, put a 6"+ lift and all the bling you want on it. Hell, with a 6" lift, why not put 40's on it?

I need the bigest tire possible for off highway recoverys
I need 2 make $$$ with my truck pulln...
I know! I'll buy 2 trucks!!!

Thank you, I mean I am leaning towards some 325 terra grapplers, just for the sole fact that I won't really have to worry about rubbing the fenders as much.

I don't want to have to worry about death wobble and all the other issues...thats the reason for the KORE kit, and I want to run the 5100's...

ONLY reason for 37's is the look...but that is out the door at this point, I just want it to be a good performing truck, it's not a show truck by any means but a toyhauler...and I do plan on getting a 5er, but I might do the old 30ft gooseneck and throw an older pop up or 5er on the neck of it...toys on the back.

Anyway, I appreciate the input from everyone...it's just hard to decide because I do see people towing 5ers all the time with 6" and 37's (I do notice what you are saying about the off camber situations coming very close to hitting), but yet again everyone that does tow heavy a lot says LEVEL only and 35's on stock rims

I am still considering the kore level and 37's...but like I said it's only for the look and it seems like it might be a little close on the fenders...I don't offroad the truck, but it takes a bit of 4wd and finesse to get back to our camp in the swamp (dirt trail)
