2-1/2 or 2" leveling kit

I have a 07 single cab 4x4 and I want to level it. Whats the difference in tire clearance between 2-1/2 and 2" leveling kit, or is there hardly any. The kit says you can clear 35's, but I might stick to 33s or 34s to be on the safe side. If i run a 34, will it rub when i turn sharp? What are your thoughts?

Welcome to FTE.

Is this a F150?

I have a 04 F150 w/ 2" leveling kit and ran 34" super swampers (which run true to size, not like BFG and others).

IF you tow, the 2.5" leveling kit will make the truck perfectly level and everytime you put a little trailer on the back, it will look like it's sagging.
That's why I went with a 2".

you can run 35s on a 2.5 levelling kit from what ive heard (i play on convincing my dad to put 35s on his levelled 04 when his tires wear down) but you might run at full lock
