    i would go for the full leveling kit for $190
    Would ther kit you posted work on my 2500 non hd truck?

    you dont need a lift to clear those tires, just adjust the stock torsion bars. thats what i did and didnt trim anything. no rubbing under any circumstances. 99 2500 non hd

    +1, get some different wheels with stock offset instead of a body lift for sure...

    hmm thats weird my truck with stock suspension clears 33" and does not rub at all when the wheel is turned all the way. and my dads truck is the same clears no problems. something is wrong if you rub with factory size tires.

    Guess we need pics, maybe your torsion bars are worn out? Does that happen? Ive seen leaf springs loose their arch before. Maybe someone installed lowering keys in the past? I dont know something isnt adding up.
