Tires
I noticed many of yall fellas talking about 35's quite frequently. Well my concern is what sort of modifictions should i do if i want to add 33's or 35's on my ford f150 4x2 reg cab stx? I already know i need to do a leveling kit which i plan to do first, but what else should i do? I mean i hear many forums explaining about adding gears?? Is this a step i should even consider if i only want to run 35's. Morever, i read on one forum that running 35's would mess up my axle's is this true?? How much of risk would i be taking running 35's on my stx 4x2 reg cab!! Furthermore, i've been too one truck shop and the guy told me i would probably have to trim my fender?? Where exactly do they trim, i really don't want to lose value bye doing this or would it? Well any advice would be very much help, so i can make up my mind, i know many of yall have expierence in this area.
Please help give me much needed advice!
Thanks ed.

What year? if it is a 2004-2007, all you should have to do is get a 2.5in levleing kit. That will fit 35's with no fender trimming. If your thinking bigger, you will need a full-on 6" suspension lift.

2.5 inch leveling kit should work fine. You shouldnt have to worry too much about axles because most problems are associated with the front axles in a 4x4, they are weaker than the rear. Gearing can help your pulling power and acceleration that is lost from oversized tires. Whats your gearing now?
