    Default Tire Size for 2wd leveling kit

    My buddy has an 03 silverado 1500 2wd truck that he plans to get a 2 inch leveling kit installed on and was wondering what size maximum tire he could fit with that leveling kit. I leveled my 03 but it was a Z71 which was already higher than his stock so I thought I would get some other opinions besides my own to help him out. Any suggestions and pics of your own trucks in this situation would be great.

    Thanks

    Cool Tire size for 2wd leveling kit

    If you go to FabtechMotorsports.com they have 3inch spindale kit that they recommed using a 265/75 tire on a 8inch rim. The suspension manufactures a conservative with there tires sizes so they dont have to pay for fenders. I know you are going to use a 2inch level kit but maybe this info will help. Also a 4x4 Z-71 sits about 3 inches higher stock than a stock 2wd.
