I have a 2.5 inch lift. Don't know that I have seen a 2 inch advertised anywhere. I run 315/75/16s.

I had my shop built with an 8 ft door just so I could get it inside. The kit was fairly simple. I had all the right tools already because I have done several lifts on other trucks in the past.

The tires will rub on the leaf springs at full lock either left or right. Mine was to the right. Didn't scrub anywhere else. A simple turn stop mod took care of that though.

The tires will rub in different areas on the truck depending upon what rims you get. The offset of the rim help depends upon where your tire ends up sitting.

Mine doesn't rub on the leaf springs at all. But I had to have my bumper cut because the outside edge of my tire would catch it. Also, I get a rub at full LEFT lock on the inner liner. I will also get a rub at full RIGHT if I hit a bump as well.

needfordlook: it depends on what engine you have. A heavy diesel engine will cause tire rubs more than a lighter gas engine.
