2008 leveling kit. Do I need it?
Ok guys, maybe someone can help me out here. I have a brand new 08 superduty that I want to out 35 inch tires on. One of the custom shops told me 35's will fit with no level lift as long as the stock wheels are replaced with after market wheels with a 4.5 inch back spacing. Has anybody done this? It would save me a little cash and eliminate the front leveling kit I was going to buy first. As for the level kit, any suggestions? I have been looking at Readylift and Tuff Country. Would like to go with Donahoe but a little to expensive. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Ryan. I had one guy at Ford tell me 33's and another guy at a different Ford dealer tell me 35's no problem. Heck, I had 33's on my 150 with no mods. Thanks for your help.

I have an 06 SD and had to use a level kit because if it bounces or turn sharp it'll rub.I don't think the 08 is any higher.I'f you do use a level kit,it will move the wheel over a bit because it changes the track bar.Also went with air bags in rear cause when you load up the rear will drop.I would of rather gone with a lift because it would address these little problems and i'f I want to go larger no worries
