Hey guys. The stock tires on my 2012 SV 4x4 are about to the end of their life (thank goodness) and I’m thinking about doing a lift/leveling kit along with some new bigger tires. I have about decided on PRG’s “3.5 w/Rear” kit that includes Bilsteins all the way around, a 2” block in the front and a 1.5” block in the rear along with cam bolts, end links, UCA’s, etc. I have read hundreds of posts from others talking about their setups and most everyone seems happy with their results, but I am curious if anyone has had any damage or premature failure of CV joints, ball joints or the like from running these kits. I have read threads on other forums saying you should stay away from these kits because they will mess up your front end, so I would like to hear from some of you that have a lot of miles on one of these kits to see what your experience has been. I hope this is just an over exaggeration because I think the kits look great and would like to have one on my truck. My tire size of choice would be a 295/70/18 on stock wheel. If that won’t clear without rubbing or needing a pwm, I will drop back to a 295/65/18. Thanks for any feedback!
Anyone Experience Damage from Lift/Leveling Kits????

I have the PRG 3.5" mini Lift kit with 5100s/5125s and RC ucas on my 2005 CC 4x4 and I love it. It's really more like a 3" kit but the way PRG spun it was the 04-07 gained closer to 3.5" up front and the 08-15 gained 3", whether that is true or not IDK. Anyways, the kit rides great and I highly recommend it or something equal to.
VikingWarrior, I really like the way your truck looks. Your stance is exactly how I want my truck to be except I want to go with 20" rims. My stock 18" are flaking pretty bad so figure I will just get rims now too.
Does anybody know what sizes in rim (offset and backspacing) and tire I need to order to get VikingWarrior's tire stance? I want to get as tall as possible with out rubbing and without having the tires stick out from the side of the truck too much.

On my prev KC I ran the 3" leveling kit with 1.75 in the rear I believe . Add in a 3" pa body lift to the mix and I cleared with no issues
