you're kinda limited on a 2wd, im sure a 4wd shop could fab. something up if you wanted to go higher than a leveling kit.

The Daystar spacers are a good product, I have never personally used them but have hear much good, and no bad about them... If you don't want a level truck you could use an ad a leaf, or taller rear block. Or have the rear springs re arched...

the 315, is the width in MM... the height will depend on the rim size, and that 2nd #, which (if I remember correctly) would be the height in relation to the width in percentage. for example, a 315/75-16... 315 is your width, 75% of that width is the hight of the sidewall and a 16" rim. Someone crrect me if I got it wrong... it's been 12 years since I worked in a tire shop, and that was just wal-mart... and you know what that's like LOL! I was probably told wrong way back then. HAHA!

You will not get a 2wd up as high as a 4x4 , at least not without some big time expensive custom fabricated stuff.

the stock control arms limit you to about 2" of lift in the front ( a leveling kit) , and no aftermarket control arms are available.

A 285 75 16 is a 33" tire (roughly) and a 315 75 16 is a 35" tire (roughly) with that said , my 285's are as tall , but not as wide as some 315's i have parked beside.

thanks JKM

how do you mean "not as high as a 4wd" i know i cant equall a 4wd with lift but how about stock or a little better???

with that said....would it be fair to say...with the 2" leveling kit in front and 285's all around...i would be in the ball park of a stock 4wd...hmmmmm
