leveling kit
well I have decided on going to a Donahoe Racing leveling kit, the mini spring pack.
who on here that is a sponsor can i order that through
I am currently looking at rims and tires, going to get some before winter, need a much more aggressive tread pattern than the Michelin XC LT4 so other than looks and price is their a difference in running a 16" vs 17" rim? which one would be better to go with? that is one of the items that is holding me up on rim decision, and 4.5" bs or 5"bs.

I have the dr 3" drop hanger leveling kit and am running 315/70/17 bfg a/t's. I do get a rub at full lock hitting a bump or a dip. If I had it to do over again I would opt for the 4.5 kit and run the same tire. When I first did the lift I was running 295/75/16's and had no rubbing what so ever. The wheels are Moto Metal 951 17x9 4.5 backspacing.

cc322, how much $ does their hanger leveling kit run? I am considering that if I stick with my 285's. Thanks for the feedback on running 315's with only the hanger kit installed, I was considering that too.

BTW If you do the 3" hanger kit It will raise the front higher then the back, which I dont care for, so you will need to add a taller block in the rear to get it to sit level, unless you like the nose high look. Then you will need to shim the carrier bearing.

Most of the people around here will recommend Marty at Truck Toyz Performance.
http://www.trucktoyzperformance.com/
I bought my lift and tires from there and they had great prices, and customer service.
