I just got a 08 dually and I'd like to do a leveling kit and a 33x12.50 tire on stock rims. What are others guys running it my first dually and would like to do it once. I'd like to know tire size, spacers, etc.. thanks guys

Your gonna need at least 2" spacers in between your rear duals. Depending get on what you tow I'd look more like 3" in between them.

My lmm has 1.5" between the duals with 285/70R17 tires. On my lml I currently have 295/70R17 with 2" spacers up front and 3" between my rear duals. But I'll be switching to 315/70R17's here shortly and the front spacers are due to my stock wheels not clearing my tie rods after the lift kit was added.

A sweet setup down the road if your buying wheels. Remove the front adapters and run a deep dish regular 8 lug front wheel and dually wheels in the rear.

I am running 255/85/16 (read 33x10) with a 1.5" spacer. Sits almost perfectly flush with the outside of the fender while still being 33" tall. I am not a fan of the tires hanging outside the fenders, for looks or practical purposes.
