3" Lift or 1.5" leveling kit with stock wheels and tires (275/55/r20 AT)

[silkywoods]

Looking for some advice on the better route. I have a stock Sport (with Nighthawk package) the rake is killing me. Im limited on my options (for several reasons), but I can throw a 1.5" Tuff Country leveling kit or should I just put in a 3" Fabtech now? The catch is I'm not putting new bigger tires on for a year most likely two. Will it look ridiculous with a 3" lift on OEM. The Fabtech 3" kit uses springs up front and 1 3/4" block in the rear.

I think the 3” will make it look a little silly with the factory tires. Do the level kit and I think you’ll be happy with the way it looks. That being said what size tire do you plan on running, if you need the 3” left just do it once and be done.

Short answer - Yes, it will look goofy with the 3" lift with OEM tires BUT may spur you to getting the new larger tire sooner.
I think you would be good with a leveling kit. Your installer may suggest getting shock extension brackets?
There are a lot of people that have simply run leveling kit up front and are perfectly happy. Maybe they'll chime in here.
There should be lots of info on this if you search the forums.

The 20” wheels are good for only one thing and that has nothing to do with off roading unless it’s a smooth parking lot. The wheels are too heavy and too tall, taking up valuable sidewall hight.

I love trolls, thanks for your 20” wheel opinion
