From an earlier post by 17F250's tires are 275/65/20s.....Stayed with the stock height on tires. "They are just factory sized 10 ply 275/65/20's on 20x9" XD's.
I stayed with the 275/65/20 Duratracs because I already had a new set I had bought a couple months back in the shop. Didnt really want it getting too much taller since I pull a 32 foot gooseneck cattle trailer often. There is definitely room to jump up to the couple larger sizes of Duratracs and fill up the fenderwell nicely if this was not a concern. I did a quick measurement of the fender height around the 4 corners but didnt right it down. It was basically level, the back was still roughly .5" higher than the front so it was the look I wanted. Was concerned I would get the front higher than the back with the 2.5" kit but it turned out great.

That's what I was thinking. We're really starting to split hairs here but this is why they make 2 inch and 2.5 inch kits. Guys who buy one or the other are making a conscious decision on how they want the truck to look. I'm going to keep that extra half inch of rake and get the 2 inch kit. Thanks or taking the measurements.

Rutcutter, have you remedied your caster problem yet? If so, where did you get them?
My truck should be here really soon and I am now torn between the 2 inch from rough country, or 2 1/2 inch coil level kit from icon. Thoughts?
My goal is to fit 37s. Personally, I think these trucks are too big with too big a wheel wells for 35s. I I don't think a little rubbing on the control arm will hurt anything, but I don't want to trim inside fendors.
Also getting a 250, so I don't know if the stance will be any different than your 350s.

If you get a chance, will you post a front or side panel shot so we can see how far a stock sized tire sticks out with your 20x9 wheels?

I haven't had the chance to make it back down to the Tire shop yet with everything going on at work.. I may try and get down there this afternoon after I make payroll out if its not too late..
I really like the look of the 37 12.50's with this setup as I think you will also.
Highjumper….I posted an earlier picture of straight on before I got my truck leveled. My stock 275/65/20 Duratracs just sneak out past my fenderwells. I have the positive 18 offset on my 20x9 Xd's so the negative offset wheels would extend out farther.

Thanks! My 20x9s have +01 offset, so they would stick out about 3/4" further. I'm wondering if my 325 tires stick out too far. They seem to stick out further on these new trucks. Almost like the fenders don't bulge out as much.

In reference to the bulging comment....remember ...the Platinums do not have the fender flares like the KR or Lariat......
Ok guys,got the castor bushings installed and alignment checked again and everything is spot on... Drives a lot better. Here are the part #'s to use with the 2" level.
