I want to install 36" tires what should I look for a lift kit or level kit & how high should I go this is on my 2500 series cummins

Remember all changes away from stock tire sizes, rim offset, lift kit etc. will effect life of parts. (Usually negative) Remember your designing your own geometry for a front end.

I put mine in 15,000 miles a go with new tires. This is 2 of them I have done and they ride and drive the same.

when you install the 2 " levelling kit are you better to go with longer shocks,do you need to go with special rims so your tires don't rub against the frame?

All stock.

when you install the 2 " levelling kit are you better to go with longer shocks,do you need to go with special rims so your tires don't rub against the frame?

I retained stock shocks as well. No issues at all. Stock wheels as well.

Right on man,today is installation day ,levelling kit & tires thanks again:hyper:

--- Update to the previous post...

levelling kit installed,tires back order have to wait till monday

waiting on tires ,looking at the truck it seems the front is a little higher ,maybe the bigger tires will make a difference:cookoo:

Yeah a 2 inch leveling kit makes the front sit higher than the back, I installed the 2 in leveling spacers on my 05 ONLY because I installed a ranch hand bumper and it sagged the front down about 1/2 inch overall and with the 2 inch spacers raised it to 1/2 inch higher than stock which makes it sit level. I think they look dorky sitting higher in the front with nothing but the levelling spacer.

My 02 I installed the heavy duty 988AA factory snowplow package springs and with the ranchhand bumper it sits exactly the same height as stock With the stock springs it sagged about 1/2 inch like my o5 did.

so when you want to go with 35" tires they say you need a 2" levelling kit so the tires will have more clearance,this is kind of odd they don't sell you a kit that lift the back end also.Now I need to make something up to lift the back,I sure don't want to drive around with the front higher than the back

here's a few pics of rear suspension

did anybody ever added a spacer on the rear suspension?

can you get thicker spacers to lift the back end?

There are dozens of options for the rear end. from add a leafs to spacers different spring packs air bags list goes on for ever just search and find the option you like.
