Hey guys I'm looking at lifting my 06 F250 a little. The truck has plow springs in the front so as it sits right now its pretty much level, I've got 315/70R17 BF Goodrich A/Ts on stock 17s and can do pretty much anything and it wont rub. I'm looking into buying 20x12 -44mm offset rims with Federal Couragia 35x12.50x20. The two lifts I was looking into were the Rough Country 4.5", or a 3.5" spacer and shock extenders for the front and a 3.5" block for the rear. I can do 3.5 front and rear since the truck already sits level because of the plow springs. I don't want to do Rough Country 4.5 because for my taste, 35s are a little too small. I don't want to rub at all. Truck does work in fields but thats about as off road as it gets. I'm leaning towards the 3.5 spacer and block but can anyone confirm that I won't rub? Thanks guys.

 

I would recommend that you go with the 4.5" kit and with 35's and 12 wides your still probably going to rub at least with the lift kit you will get all the necessary brackets and shocks. You may find that if you space the bumper out a little bit the only place you will rub is the radius arms at or close to or full lock. I think your gonna rub in the fender wells too though. I'd also recommend that you look at zone or bds instead of rough country. One of the zone kits comes with replacement radius arms and I would assume that bds has one the radius arms as well since they own zone.

 

the leveling kit I found comes with all the steering drop brackets needed

 

At -44mm offset, the fender wells are the likely problem before the radius arms.

 

yeah thats what im afraid of, not radius arms. I have a buddy with a 2" leveling kit with -12 or -24 offset and he barely rubs the fender well, not even enough to worry about
