Leveling Kit? Pics Please

I'm new to the cummins but I just bought a 04 3500 swb and Ive heard of a bunch of people being able to put 315's w/ stocky rims on with and without a leveling kit. I was wondering if I could get some advice and if you would some pics of yalls rigs with 315's with or without the leveling kit. Any would be greatly appreciated!

To many contradicting stories when searching this topic. To many variables and seems that nobody explains when they say yes it will or no it wont. My questions are not for the 315's as those will clear fine with leveling kit but is with some guys saying the 37"s are and some saying no.

Howling, what model/brand of wheels are those, I saw them on a dodge here and was not ready to buy at the time, now I have not been able to locate them in town. Also, it appears in the pic that your tires dont stick out, like the factory wheels, (same offset), Is this correct or is it an illusion. Thanks in advance. by the way is that just a leveling kit, and what size of tires. Thanks

These are 35'' BFG KM2 Mud Terrains on stock 17'' wheels (powdercoated black). 2'' HBS leveling kit on the front. (Ranch hand prob weighs it down some though)

Thanks for all of yalls pics they really helped my decision, I think I'll go with the 2 inch leveling kit and the 315's, and I really liked the way those stockies looked powdercoated I might try to do that in the near future.

I think the stock wheels will cause it to rub the control arms. I'm wondering if anyone has tried 315's or 325's with a 1/4 wheel spacer to decrease the backspacing.

This is guess work I've never ran the stock wheels with 315s though.

Seems like 5.7 like on my truck works pretty well with 315s. Mine didn't rub on the stock suspension for the couple days before I lifted it.



Pics in my gallery, my rear is lifted too though.

You cannot fit a 37" tire with only a level kit and not get some kind of rub somewhere unless you trim and massage certain areas. Something is going to rub, its just a matter or what, how much, and does it really matter.
