Talking Finally got around to doing my level kit

I bought an AS 2.5" front/3" rear leveling kit about a year ago that has been gathering dust in my garage. I made it a point today to finally get it installed. I bought it so I could eventually run 35s. I'm running stock size Goodyears right now. The stock rake drove me nuts for so long hahaha. I measured the distance from the ground to the lip of the fender:

Before:
Front: ~37 1/8"
Rear: ~39

After:
Front: 39 3/4"
Rear: 40 1/4"

What do you guys think?

Before:



After:

Yeah, I cringe whenever I drive it but I have to wait for payday for an alignment. Hopefully no more than a week....

It looks good. Bigger tires would definitely be awesome, fill up that huge wheel well space.

looking good man.

don't worry about the alignment overly much. I drove my truck over 1,000 miles without getting an alignment and the 2.5" kit installed. The tires had just started to feather on the outer edges.

After the alignment I put over 15,000 miles on those tires and they were none the worse for wear. You have some time/mileage. Just don't wait too long

Looks good. By far the best mod for my money. Slight rake but not as bad as factory.

Hahaha I know right! The tires are 235/75R17 Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors. They look teeny-tiny in those huge wheel wells. I really want some 17" wheels are black or some combination of black/polished/chrome etc. But you have to have money for those hahahaha
