Question Leveling Kit and wheel questions

Hey guys and gals...thanks for all of the info from previous posts...installed my tires and have a leveling kit for the front being delivered today! It is a 2" kit and the question is...is there anything else that will need to be done with the install of this kit? I would assume that no other modifications are necessary due to the amount of lift....I have an '01 lim v-10 4x4....also, the offset on the stock wheels...anyone know the amount and what would I need to run 35's in the future as far as the wheels go...(aftermarket offset needed), I am looking at upgrading those soon with the opportunity to go larger, later.....as always, I appreciate any and all input....thanks!

When we had a 2" leveling kit on my truck, the 35" tires just did rub with the stock wheels, with the 4" and stock wheels, I only rub at full lock.

2" should be fine, just make sure your brake lines are long enough if you don't get a new bracket.

ReAx...so you are saying that the 2" leveling kit should be enough to run the same 315-75r-16...on stock wheels?...your truck looks great and they seem to be the same wheels I have...did you use any spacers to help accomodate the larger tires?

I have a 4" lift on it currently. 315/75r16 BFG T/As worked on the stock wheels with the fabtech leveling kit on two of our trucks. No spacers.
