On the Level

Just intsalled a Hellbent 2.5" leveling kit and new tires, 275/70/17 Nitto grapplers. I have since put a couple hundred miles on it, totally love it! The stance is just right, the tires fill up the wheel wells "just right", it drives and rides as well or better than before. I went with 33's instead of 35's just to keep the gearing down a little bit instead of needing to regear. I can feel a slight power loss, but not enough to really bother me (I was running 285's before the leveling kit).

Here's a couple of pics, I'm standing next to it in one, and I'm 6'2" tall. I didn't realize that such a small "lift" could make the truck look/feel so much bigger!
