What tires for leveling out?

[ThwopKing]

I have the truck listed in my sig. I need new tires and i found 2in keys for 110 bucks. they arent ford keys...just daystar leveler keys. Are those better than fords? which ford keys would i use? Also what size tire could i run on the stock 16in rim... 285/70? 285/75? Truxx sells a 2-3in level kit for 270 bucks, comes with keys and shock brackets to increase the length im assuming. I have rear air ride and the power adjustable pedals but those shouldnt be a problem with just a torsion key level kit should it?

I know its been asked several times but I havent seen it asked about the pedals and with the factory rear air suspension. Any off roading would be very light duty with some mud or sand but nothing with crazy articulation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

edit..saw some pics of 'Hoes with 285/70's and those seem to fit pretty good...so thats what i would probably go with.

Actually nevermind that because there arent hadly any 285/70/16in tires out there lol....soooo hmm what size would i go with...i really just wanted tires for the fall/wintr/spring as late spring ill be going to 22's

not sure how different they are than the "Ford keys"
I believe they are a little more agressive of a lift


you should have no problem fitting 285's (on stock wheels)
it's when you get an agressive (wide) offset wheel that will casue rubbing on the front bumper when turning

good luck

The truxx kit seems a little over priced. Rough Country has a kit for $250 which includes 3/4" rear spacers, keys for 2 inch lift, and 4 shocks that will fit after installation of the keays and spacers. See you're from WV.. Bill Stewart =

Actually i contacted CCM today and they have a kit for 130 bucks..1in spacer in rear and it will level the front with said 1in rear lift. So im probably going to order that. Also i just live in the DubV...im from chicago...so i have no idea who Bill Stewart is..sorry

That's cool man. He's the head football coach at WVU, and as you may or may not know they are sucking bad right now.
