tires with leveling kit

I just installed a 2.5 inch leveling kit on my 99 superduty and would like to know if it is possible to run 36x12.50x16 tsl radials? if so how much rubbing would there be?

I would say 35's are the limit. 36's probably wouldn't rub that much but I promise you that the little rubbing it does will get old real quick! I know from experience.

It doesn't rub the bumper, it rubs the inner fender at the bottom of the floor pan. This usually happens in a full locked turn such as a drive-thru. This is embarrasing when your driving up to the window and the teller is looking at you like your truck is broke! 36 inch tires are only going to give you a 1/5 inch lift over the 35's. Is that worth your tires rubbing?
