Hey guys, thinking of lifting my 2011 F250 XL Regular cab. Right now I have 255/80R17 BFG KM2's on it, I've had them on it for a while now and they're nearly worn out now. It's time to retire them, I'm replacing them with the same tire. They're unbeatable in the snow, and I need a great snow tire because I plow in the winter.

Anyway, I'm looking at getting a Readylift leveling kit and putting 35x12.5r17's on it, using my same wheels. I am also looking at lifting up to 4" and going to 37x12.50r17's, depending on price because this is about the highest I can go with what I want to spend. Pictures will help me decide this. I also need to know if my plow, an 8ft Fisher HD (800lbs or so with accessories) will have any affect on a spacer kit, or if I need to look elsewhere. Because I have the higher code springs up front, I would like to retain them if possible.

I was wondering if anyone on here, preferably 2011+ regular cab guys, has a leveling kit and 35's (or even stock and 35's) or 2-4" lift with 37's. I will take pictures of anything 2011+, just note the lift and tire sizes.

Thanks guys!

 

Pics (before/after) of my truck with a 2.5" leveling kit in the thread below (tires are 285/75-18 which according to Toyo's measurements are a 35x11.50). Also, check out the 6.7 forum, alot of lifted trucks in there as well.

I'm not sure I understand the need for a "leveling" kit on a 4x4 truck. My FX4 F250 came level from the factory, not raked like some of the 2WD trucks.

 

Honestly, my truck appears to be level from the factory. I never saw the need for one, but in photos I can see the difference the kits make with the old tires on the truck. There's a 2" kit that's not that much more than the leveling kit, I might end up going that route.

I don't know, I'm still up in the air on this. Lifting on a budget sucks!
