New to forum and a level kit question

[roy381]

Hi folks new to ps.org.Seems like a great site!And i figured i would jump right into it!

Just bought an 08 lariat ccsb and I want to level it.
Was thinkng of the ready lift or the newton kit.
Any preferences between the two.

Also I had a 2001 supercab with a 4' kit with 35x13.50x18 cooper stt on 9" 2crave nx2 wheels and they rubbed at full lock to the left.

I really want to go with the same same setup.But i'm not sure if it will work with a 2.5" leveling kit.

Ready lift says up to 37x12.50 but im not sure about that.

Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

37" may clear for the street but not for any offroad use.

I'd make sure you get a adj track bar and castor shims..

Thanks cary I am not looking to go with 37's. I w
9" wheels.But i worry about rubbing with the wider 13.50 tire on a 2.5 level.My backspace choices are -12 or 12 offset on these specific wheels.

You listed offset..whats the BS? factory is aprox 6.5" and with 13.5 may rub a little..

[roy381]

backspacing is 4.5 with -12 offset

backspacing is 5.5 with +12 offset

I'd use the 5.5" BS unless you want the rims sticking out another 1" that the 4.5" BS would give you.

I will be giving you a call.

Thanks again

You could also check out the Daystar brand of front leveling kits. They use a 2.5" poly spacer on top of the factory coil spring. I have them on my truck and they ride really well. I use to have a lift spring and it was wound so tight and rode horribly.
