i installed my leveling kit last week and i gotta say from what ive seen online i think i should be sitting a little taller, as i researched most kits came with a 1.5 or 2" rear spacer this kit came with a .05" so i guess now i need to order taller ones and crank up the fronts? i mean i think its lifted about an inch from what it was before..

why would all leveling kits be different sizes?

the front is the same but the rear is is different. I only have 2"s in the rear because my rear coils are worn.

the true test will be when my wheels and tires get here, and see if they clear, i was hoping for a taller look... but i might order some 1.5 and install them and crank the keys a bit more

Looks Good man! What size tires did you end up going with? How bout' new wheels?

Anyway, The RC Kit only comes with the .75 Poly Spacer. You will have to purchase 1"-2" spacers if you want more lift.

kbi83, looks sick! Nice selection with the rockstars and nittos. i'm back and forth between the 33" nittos and the grabber AT2, and thinking of going with XD 796 or some pro comp wheels.

Thanks for posting the pics. It goes a long way to help someone like me imagine what our hoes would look like with certain mods. Can't wait to see the pics with the new spacers. Much appreciated!

what is the diameter of the nittos you got? Did you say they were 32.83" or something like that? Any rubbing in the front? Wondering if I could get away with 33.42" nittos with the same RC leveling kit.

All depends on your rim. Stock rim yeah, anthing else that sticks out farther will rub more. Im running a 32.8 on my locks and i had to trim a bit in the fenderwhel

I got the same kit. It looks like it's higher in the back, and a bit in the front. The guy who put them on for me said that he didn't crank the keys at all. I'm thinking about bringing the front completely level with the back (as there is slight rake currently), and putting 16" or 17" mickey thompson classic II's and some 32's or 33's. I want to rid myself of the wheel gap, but I don't want a giant wheel tire combo on there, and I also personally prefer smaller wheels w/ beefier tires.
