leveling kit and F-350 rear blocks were my choice, no rubbing, but no serious offroading suspension flex either, see pics in my gallery

Thank you. If you a hardcore offroader you might have some rubbing with the leveling kit. I keep my hardcore offroading limited to my ATV. I have a Honda Foreman 4x4 with 2 inch lift and 27" Super Swamper Vampires, winch etc. for mud riding. The most off road action my truck sees is going down hunting roads with some ruts, moguls on hills, and ditches. I don't ever put my suspension to full flex. I haven't had it rub yet. If you are rock climbing or something with your truck you might have some rubbing problems. I think you'll be fine for average off roading though. I've found over the years that it is a lot cheaper to repair an ATV than a truck if you break something while playing on rocks or in the mud. It is also is a lot easier to pull an ATV out of the mud. My truck cost too much to abus like that.

On a side note though, I might put an add a leaf on my rear of my truck because I'd like it to sit just a little bit higher. I might put a 1" or 1.5" add a leaf.

I used to run 35/12.50R16.5 BFGs under a 4" lift (still have some pics in gallery) and I could get them to rub the inner fender liner off roading.....

For real hard off roading a 6" lift would be the way to go IMO to avoid any rubbing.
