I want to put a leveling kit on my 08. Does anyone know how much that raises the front up? And what is the biggest size tire I can get away with when its installed?
i just bought my leveling kit this past Saturday. i haven't put it on yet. but i think it's suppose to give you 2.5 inches of lift. the main purpose is to just level the truck. and from what i have read, up to a 33 inch tire can be fitted.

Let me know if you do it your self. Im thinking about buying one and installing it myself.

Mine is a 1" spacer. Lifted the front end 2" inches.

I ordered the Toytec 3" and was told by sales rep. 295/70/17 is fitable(is "fitable" a word?) I am going with 285's, from reading the build up sec. looks like alot are using the 285's with 3" lift & they look good. I don't want to go large & end up doing body mount chop,although in the future I'm sure I'll be moving up to the 5.5" lift & 35" tires...
pretty sure I am doing the level lift too....Been on the fence too long....Just need to go order it and get it over with.....Buddy of mine that works at a suspension shop is going to do it though....he says 1.5hrs will do up the spacer install since no spring compression is required with a spacer that mounts on top of the C/O

I installed it myself. I had no experience with suspensions. Bought the spacer off a forums member and used the ReadyLift instructions. Once you finish the passenger side the driver's side is a breeze. When I received the spacer I thought I purchased the incorrect one. The spacer is only 1" thick. I gathered advice from the forums and was told that because of the IFS, I will raise the front end 2" with a 1" spacer. That confused me but trusted those who installed the same lift from extremetrucktoys.com. I am happy with the level lift. In the near future I will be ordering a Rough Country 3" lift and installing it myself. Perhaps say screw it all and go with an OME setup.
