Wheels: Ultra Goliath 20 x 9 with 0 offset

Tires: 305/55/20 Nitto Trail Grapplers

Level Kit: Rough Country 2" Level Kit, paid $64.95 + Free shipping and installed it myself.
Here is the link to the kit http://www.jcwhitney.com/front-suspensi ... cwx?filt...)

I have only driven about 200 miles on the level kit. However I installed new wheels and tires at the same time so it is tough to determine how the level kit has affected the ride and performance of the truck.



looks great, are you having any rub issues with the 305's? or was the 0 offset all it took.

I really didnt "trim" anything. I have full wheel well liners plus mudflaps over those. If i wouldnt have had mudflaps i wouldnt have had any problems. The rub was right on the edge of where the mudflap screwed into the liner about right in the middle of the wheel well. I just took a dremel with a sanding wheel and took the edge of the mudflap down about 3/8" and then tapered the edge back so there wasnt a big edge for the tire to catch as the mudflap material was about 1/4" thick there. It snowed here yesterday and calling for 4-6 tonight so the wheel wells wont be clean enough for a picture anytime soon!

I still have never rubbed in drive, only reverse and i have crawled through a couple pretty good washouts on some logging roads and never had a problem. I would still rub in reverse if i am on a pretty good decline and i reverse and turn. Taking the mudflaps off would completely solve the problem but it isnt bad enough for me to worry about it as im really not in that position very often.
