Another Tire Size and Level Kit Question

Hello all,
Just got my new 2016 SCrew 2.7 short bed the other day and I'm looking at getting it leveled and getting off road tires. Here's what I have in mind. 2" front level, stock 18" wheels, 285/65/18 Nitto Ridge Grappler (32.56x11.50). Will this work with no rubbing? Will I need wheel spacers? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Shouldn't have any problems at all.

Beautiful truck. I like that new gray.

If you're keeping those wheels they'll fit perfect with no rubbing. If you're getting aftermarket wheels, get 5.5" backspacing on an 18x9 wheel to keep from rubbing.

My truck with the same wheels you have. 2.25" levelling kit with 34.3" tires.

Ok so I got the 2" level kit installed today. After seeing the new stance, I decided I want to get after market wheels. I'm going with Fuel Lethal 18x9. So with 285/65/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers, 5.5 backspacing is all I need?

That should work. The wheels with 4.5 backspacing will rub on these trucks unless the crash bars are spread or cut off.

If you want, have the tire dealer mount one wheel/tire combo. Put it on the front and turn lock to lock. If it doesn't hit anywhere you're good.

Hi Jeremy. Welcome to FTE!

That would be a 2.25-2.5” leveling kit.

I just put 305/55/20s Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my truck, I have new rims 20x9 +18, no issues at all. I also have an AutoSpring 2" in the front and swapped out the rear for a 2.25" Halo block set. Love it so far no issues. I'll post pics of the new set-up if I EVER get a day off from working.
