You have photos on your 2.5" kit? Also what size tires you running and is your DRW or SRW?

Also, just curious what 2.5" kit did you use for your 2015?

Never mind the photos I see your profile photos, but what kit is that? And your tire size?

It's a f250 srw. There is a picture in my profile. When I get home, I could send you a before and after, unfortunately I don't have both on my phone. I used a ReadLift 2.5 front and 3 rear, I needed the extra half inch on the rear for towing my travel trailer. I'm running a 295/70R18 on it now but I might jump up to a 305 70 when my Nitto's are done.

That's nice and unlike my truck it already came with the extra 2" or so in the rear being a F350 DRW so my kit was just to level front. I want to run as large as I can with my 17x7.5" OEM rims but I'm afraid unless I find hole in the wall shop that I will only be able to run 285/70/17 on my truck from a reputable shop. We shall see because ideally I would want to go with 35" I just don't think they are going to mount 12.5 width tire on a 7.5" rim.

I was also contemplating the idea of pricing some 20" rims with nice tires but not sure they will fit the way my truck sits now or if I would need at least 4" lift. My kit says I can run 35" or 37" but with the 37" I may need modify the truck a little due to rub.

I ran the same thing on my F150 with a leveling kit and about 1/2" shaved off the bottom of the air dam. The wore well on the F150 and they are an E rated tire. Cooper makes a similar tire for a few bucks less.
