Who installs and does a good job on leveling kits in Baton Rouge area? 2015 gmc 1500 z71 package. Should I drop 305/55r20's or 275/65's after kit installed? Anyone have experience with either size on a similar truck? Thanks for any help

2" level is all you want. Any more and your truck is going to have a socal lean. That size can run 295/55/20.

They did mine in June

Another poster on here got his done there as well, that's how I found out they did it.

I have 305/55/20s on my F150. I like the way they look better than the 275/65s, and I like a wider tire in ruts, but gas mileage suffers. If you're concerned about gas, I'd go with the narrower tire.

I actually just replaced my 305/55 Duratracs with 305/55 Cooper Maxxes.

I have the 275/65r20


Gas mileage still suffered because of the weight of the tires


Tires in that size are typically 10-ply which will add weight and possibly a rougher ride but I can't really complain about mine

Up to 55K on my nittos and wondering what I should get next time

Sorry I just saw that. It's a 2012. It's leveled with 5100s.
