Just installed Nitto Grappler 275/65R20 tires on my factor 20's and experiencing mild rubbing at full lock. Looking for the best option for leveling the truck and hopefully eliminate the rubbing issue. I'm leaning toward the Moto Fab 2.0" or Moto Fab 2.5" but wanted to see if there was something else I should be looking at instead. Not planning on doing UCA's as this truck spends 99.9% of its life on the pavement!

This what my truck looks like with a motofab 2.5 kit and stock uca’s. If you hit a deep hole you could have issues, I’m looking at aftermarket uca’s now to be safe. The steep angle of the uca’s was tires off on jack stands.

I just placed an order for ReadyLIFT's 2-inch leveling kit (66-1921) with UCAs for my new Laramie. They offer a pretty good discount for military/first responders if you order over the phone. I had the Rough Country 2-inch leveling kit on my Big Horn and it's hard to complain about it at $54.95...it rode just fine. I forgot to take pictures but I don't remember having any concerns with ball-joint/cv angles. This time, I just thought I'd try a spacer that didn't require me to disassemble the strut. I also wanted the aftermarket UCAs for just in case I want to lift a little higher in the future. I will install 33x12.50s on my stock 22s as soon as this weekend.

Thanks for the info. I've almost committed to the MotoFab kit but am debating between the 2" and 2.5" kit now. Need to order something soon so I can install it before next week!

Can you take a picture of your truck as it sits now? Larger tires but no level?

What running boards do you have?

Are you 2wd or 4wd? I like the looks of the 275/65, can u get buy with some minor trimming?
4wd, I only have minor rubbing at full lock and I think it’s rubbing on a piece of the wheel liner that is loose toward the back of the wheel well. Plan is to pull that part back with a zip tie this weekend! No trimming required
