Add-a-Leaf Suspension

I have a 03 fx4 and was wondering if the add-a-leaf suspension would raise the front end up enough to put 315's on 16x10 rims?? if not what is the max size i could run?

They also sell a leveling kit so you don't have to stiffen your ride with another leaf. Also my buddy has 315's on his but they rub once and awhile. I think specs say 305 is the biggest with no rubbing.

I have a add-a-leaf and 3 leaf mini pack for about 3.5" of lift and I have 315-75-16 pro comp allterran tires on stock wheels and yes they will rub in fuul turn and hit a bump. I think with aftermarket wheels you will have a wider offset and should not rub. I did have 305s with just the add-a-leaf (about 2' lift)and no mini pack and it did not rub

I also had a thumping right under my left foot felt like the shakle area after checking everything for tightness (and it was) I sprayed some lube on the round plastic pads at the end of the leaf srpings and it took care of it. It was just a little side to side movement in the leaf spring. Good luck
