Advise on Leveling Kits
Hello all, I have a 2001 f250 XLT 7.3 I have owned it from day one it has 320,000 miles on it I figured it's time to give my baby a face lift. I want to put bigger tires and wheels I'm thinking 33x12.50. I dont want a full lift kit I was told that a leveling kit would allow room for the tires not to rub. What do you all think? Also what would you recommend. Thanks

Take care of that truck dude. It's only OE once.
I recently went to 285 from the OE 265 and I have a teensy bit of rub in left full lock direction, stock suspension. It's a 33" tire but less rim width than you are considering. So yeah, a front levelling kit should help you out. Make it look better too. Tho I kinda like the empty bed rake.
You thinking stock wheels or?

I’ve run 285’s for years on these with no rub. Your front springs might be getting weak. The 33/12.50 may rub without a leveling kit just because of the width depending on offset. I’ve done add a leaf and the leveling kits that are small spring packs on some of the trucks I’ve had. I would recommend an adjustable track bar.
