I got another question for you guys.
Ive been looking into leveling kits, and maybe some new wheels when i get the money together for it.
How much is a decent front end leveling kit for an 06 silverado 1500 W/T and how much bigger will it allow me to go with oversized tires without having rubbing problems?

you will probably be looking to spend about 150-200 on the leveling kit (although rough country may have one cheaper). and I would stay with the 285/75R16 (its a 33/11.5)
