Which leveling Kit?

Which 2" leveling kit is bestfor a new 06 2500 Diesel 6 speed 4x4. Revtek aluminum the poly ones or the metal ones they all claim to do virtually the same. thing need to run some taller tires to lengthen out the gears and help the mpg not pulling much of anything if ever. Want a good look without breakin the bank. Going to keep the stock aluminum wheels and probably going to run the pro comp ats 35s with the guaranteed tread life. Anyone have any suggestions. Which other tires are good but will not howl down the freeway. Wish Bridgestone made bigger tires they wear great.

Dunlop mt's are a pretty good tire. They have the same tread pattern as a bfg mud terrain. I had a set and I got around 60k out of them. You can find them in a 35x1250xR17 at www.tire rack.com and they are only $176

This is becoming a popular leveling kit among some members here, including me. So far no probs. Relatively easy install.

I picked my leveling kit up off ebay for I think $80 (after shipping and taxes). The company was Top Gun Customz.

It depends on the seecond # which actually determines the heigth 325/60/18== approx 33/13.5
325/65/18== approx35/13.5



325= width I believe in milimeters
60or 65 is the percentage of the width which is equal to the height of the sidewall so when you get that number multiply it times 2 and add in the height of thte rim in this case 18" a conversion chart may help

so in this case 65 is bigger than 60 therefore a taller tire same width
