Leveling Kit

[radar]

I am about to install the Truxxx leveling kit in the front of the 3, wondering if anyone else has done this and how well it worked.

I see truxx wants $499 for there 3 inch level kit. Alot of people in here have talked about a level kit but I havent heard of anyone doin it. 5 bills ,,,humm save up and get R.C.'s lift or just adjust your T-bars and you can fit 35's

Well 35's was the actual goal, hadn't heard about the T-bar option. I was actually expecting to see a little better out of the rear window, we will see, thanx.

Do a search on torison bars and you will see just about every one on here thats running 35 has done it and saved alot of money on a leveling kit. i cranked it and leveled mine 2 and a half inces. i am getting 35 tires this week.save your money. just make sure you get a alinement after you do it. the computer will show how out of alignment it is . mine showed and then showed the correction that was done and i am very happy now.
Thanks, this wouldn't be the first time I took the overly expensive route. Speaking of 35's, is there some rule of thumb for rim offset, I wanted to go with 35x12.5X17 on 17x11" rims, any issues or thoughts on that ?

I would do a search on the offset as I know there has been a lot of discussion about this. Where in FL are you located?

I am located in Bradenton, just north of Sarasots.

I spend some time in Sarasota and Longboat. Are you interested in making a drive up to Ocala to join other FL owners on some off road outings up in the forest. Guessing it shouldn't be but 1 1/2 hour or less drive from Bradenton.

At least from everything I've seen posted on here an 11" rim is too wide. It's going to stick out a good bit. A 9" wide rim would be a better choice.
