Need to clear 35s
I have a 1991 F150 XLT Lariat that is currently leveled with 33x12.5x15 BFG mud terrains. I know a lot of people have asked discussed this but I have yet to find out what I really need. My 33s rub a tad at a full turn with the level. What is the lowest body lift or suspension lift I would need to clear 35s?? I have a 3" Performance Accessories body lift kit that I got for free but haven't put on. I'm not sure if I want a body lift since all it does is lift the body(obviously), but suspension lifts are pricey. I like the look of my truck now but I want 35s. I want them to be as flush in the wheel well without rubbing, or trimming anything. You think a 2.5" suspension lift would do the trick? I know suspension lifts sag a little so maybe not. Maybe a 3" or 4". Idk, any and every suggestion will be considered and help me a lot. Thanks

Ask nicely and the mods will remove your double posted thread with exact same text...
Personally I'd just put the body lift in and relocate the bumpers to match. Then put a filler panel in the rear wheel wells to get rid of the ugly gap. These trucks aren't like a chevy, that with a body lift makes the truck look like its body is suspended by toothpicks. The body lift is almost completely hidden depending on how much other lift is used.
The rubbing is either on the bumper, or frame/trailing arms. If it's bumper, trim it nicely. If it's something else, you got the wrong rim offset.
