Q. I have a nbs chevy (07.5 - 2010) what size tires can I fit on with a leveling kit
A. You can Run 285/65/18's with minor trimming on a factory wheel or with in the same spec of factory (mine are 18x9 with 0mm offset), I do it with cognito leveling kit

Q. Are tierod upgrades nessisary?
A. YES!!!!!!! If you have anything done to your truck at all I strongly suggest Cognito HD tierods, Worth every penny they cost.

im sure you already know, but drop shackles for the leafs in the rear and slack off the tbars. you can get a +/- 3 inch drop by doing that.. and drop shackles are usually under 100 bucks.

You looking for a job?


I will also add, ride quality will suffer if you let the front down too far. You have to watch on how much the truck rests on the compression stops so the truck doesn't bottom out on the front end..
