Well i have bought 35x12.5x18 and the new ambush wheels in black and now i dont know what to get to fit the babys under me..... i want a 4" lift but it is expensive, so i decided to go with a truxx 2.5" leveling kit and some rear air bags but alot of people told me that the 35's will rub with the leveling kit does anyone know for sure if they will fit??? please help me i want them on as soon as possible and if i have to get the 4" lift then it will take longer becuase i will have to save save save.

ive got 35x12.5x17's id go with the lift i have 6 inches of lift and next to no rub only when i go clear to the steering locks

 

I have a 6" lift as well, and bags for the camper. Go with the lift. My next set of tires will be 37s or 38s. Currently have 35x12.50x18

 

My 35's rub on full left lock on 2 1/2 level kit. Plenty of room in the rear. You're not going to want to use air bags to lift an unloaded truck. That will ride like a 2 horse wagon. You will be able to lift the rear maybe 1 1/2 inches with bags, but I wouldn't recommend it.

 

My 35's do NOT touch my springs at all... It is all in the correct offset. I would much rather have them stick out a little wider, plus it looks cooler, than to touch the spring. The outer fenderliner, on the other hand has a pretty nice wearmark in it from the tire kissing it slightly at a mild turn angle. I already drilled two holes in it and used zip ties to the cab mount to pull it back as far as possible.

 

four inch lift with 35x12.5x16.5, they rub if i am turning and compress the suspension, i think 33 is the biggest you can go with a 2" level kit

 

I agree with a 100 percent of what you said Kris.

If you can get some X code springs and then and a 2.5 in kit you should be fine. My 35s rub only on fenderliner like Kris said.

 

thanks for all the input...but what are x code springs and how do they work? also how much $$$$$$$

 

X codes are the springs that came with the snow plow prep kit, they are stiffer to hold the weight of the plow. I picked mine up for about 125.

 

What is the width and offset on the wheels? I had 16x8's with 315/75-16's on my F350 w/o any rub, but when I went to 16x10's, I got some inner fender rub. If I had to do it over, I would have done a 4" rather than the levelling kit with air bags.

 

Im sure with the proper back spacing on the rim 35's would be OK with a 2.5" leveling kit as long as your not doing anything too crazy... Personally I like the tires to sit in the wheel wells with just barley enough clearance... I just like how it looks with the "stuffed tire" look. Just my .02c


Any thoughts on 3" in the front with F350 rear blocks???
