Ok...Ready for the Leveling kit and some 35's
hello all,
I'm looking at the Ready-Lift (open to suggestions) leveling kit (3") kit and the add a leaf 3" kit that replaces the factory and give you an additional 1" of lift in the rear. I want to put on 35x12.5 tires but open to suggestions there also...
I want the rear kit because i do some towing and don't want the truck to look funny with a load on it.
My truck:
2007 F-150 with the 5.4L Super-cab with 3.73 gears and 18" wheels
question:
1. who out there is running this combination and what do you think?
2. PICTURES OF THIS SET UP!!!!!
3. What kind of effects can i expect in towing performance?
thanks

There are people out there that are running 35s with a leveler kit and factory rims. But if you go aftermarket rims with a different offset (which i think looks better) you really don't want to go bigger than 33s. That way there is no rubbing. I have 33s with 4 1/2 inch offset and it is perfect. There is pics in my gallery.

and also when i say rub it just touched it at full lock and now that the tires have worn down a little i bet it wouldn't rub at all all the pics i have are in my gallery too
also to add my truck did sit dead level at one time but the springs are saging a bit now i thing due to age and some over loading and offroading

i think their all the same, as long as its not at 4x2
it rubbed on the in side of my mud flap, thats why i made the little braket to hold it back..if you look at my bottom pic, right where the wheel is turned is the spoted it rubbed, just so slightly and i thing they change the valance on the 06 and up is different thats why some need to trim it
