Another leveling kit question

Im new to the super duty forums here, I just bought a 2001 F250 4x4 V10 crew cab. I purchased a rough country 2.5 front leveling kit and the optional rear add a leaf for it. Im going to put it on this weekend but was wondering what the biggest tires I can fit is? Im going to get after market 18 or 20 inch rims and would really like to fit 35s but I dont know if they will fit. I have searched other threads and cant find anyone else with this set up. If anyone has tried this or knows if they will fit it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure you will clear 35's, depending on wheel offset. I have 33's and plenty of room. Most 35's are closer to 34", so you should be fine.

Thanks for the responses, Im definately getting 35s then. You guys all have really nice trucks, Which gives me alot of ideas for mine. On a side note, I seen Von Ruben and pig daddy both have v10s. How do you guys like them? and is there any good secrets to performance upgrades for them?
Thanks

I just today installed the rough country leveling kit today and so far I love it. My truck set about 3 inches lower up front and with their kit it sits level right now with 43 inches from the center of the fenders to the ground.

Head down to the v10 forum, lots of good reading down there. Best bang for your buck is a tune from Mike @ 5star.

I love my 6.2 but miss my V10 at times!
