How big a tire?

How big can I go on an '05 Superduty with a 2 1/2 " leveling kit? I want to put 325/70 17's on 10" Mickey Thompson wheels. Anybody know if they will rub?

I am ordering Toyo's. We just put a set on my son's F150 and they ride and look good. BAJA, I got the Daypro (I think or Daystar) kit. It consisted of a poly block for the top of the front springs, replacing the stock block, longer heavier and better front shocks and a 1" plated rear spring block. Very easy to install, took less than 1 hour. The only adjustment was to center the steering wheel after the install.

Did you check the Caster before and/or after the lift? The lift should reduce the Caster but perhaps not significantly. Can you tell any difference in the steering characteristics of the truck?

I am running the procomp 2.5in full leaf spring kit. Replacing the leafs upfront and new shocks U bolts the hole 9yards. rides great and makes the truck look good with that 4 inch rear block that my 350 SRW came with. Good Luck
