Wheel spacers?
Hey guys it is my first post on here,so i figured i would start it out with asking a question. Anyway i have 04 new body style Lariat 150 i installed a superlift 2.5 inch leveling kit (just spacers) and a set of 35-12.5-18 mud terrain tires. I am using stock rims. Well when i turn full they rub the upper control arms and frame at the front.i am wondering if i install a set of spacers will it cure this problem? If so what size do you suggest?

Agreed.
But if you must, be sure to get some that give you new studs...not just a piece of metal with holes in it that take up threads on your stock studs. None of them are great, but the kind that bolt on with new studs are better. My tires rub also at full turn but I just deal with it.

it isn't good for the truck/tire, but it isn't exactly bad either. just try to minimize the rubbing and you'll never have a problem
btw, avoid spacers. people can claim they're strong, but do you really want to risk your truck to some extra long wheel studs?
