New Wheels!

Finally got around to putting on new rims and tires..... went with MB TKO in 18x9 with BFG AT KO2 in 35x12.5..... stock suspension.

I had a little bit of rubbing on the wheel well liner....easy fix with a heat gun to reshape it a little, no cutting.

NOW....while I had it sitting at discount (just after I parked it in a bay, before they did anything to it) I measured the height to the bottom of the fender. Looks like the difference is only about 1/2". If I wanted to level it out, what would be the best option? Level kit in front w/ F350 blocks in back? Anyone have another idea?

Looks great!

I think you'd have plenty of clearance with a leveling kit and F350 blocks. There are plenty of kits to choose from, depending on how much you want to spend.

Main concern is not having it look like a dog dragging it's *** everywhere.... with it being only 1/2" off in the front, seems like 1.5" or 2" would be way too much. I'll try to find another place to measure it and see if it's any different.

This would be the route I recommend. This kit is for a 2 piece rear drive shaft. If you have a 1 piece, the part number is different.

I run the 3.5†kit, and am very happy with it. Admittedly, there are better options, but I think this is your best bang for the buck.
