help with tire size
I have a 2004 powerstroke crew cab currently has the stock 16inch rims on it. I have a set of 2009 f 350 rims I wanna put 355/65/18 tires on them. Can i get away with just leveling the front of the truck to make these tires work? If not what is the biggest i can go on that 18inch rim? Thanks for the help

355? Those tires work out to 36". You should have the same suspension I do, if the tires have any ***** to them, they will rub pretty bad with a 4" lift. I don't think a leveling kit will cut it, 2.5" leveling kits can clear 35" street tires decently, but with my 35" Toyos MTs, the 4" lift rubs a little.

Those tires are somewhere around 36x14R18. That is way too wide for factory rims. Also, I'm not sure if you realize it but the factory rims off a 2009 won't fit your truck unless you use wheel spacers anyway.
Finally like ReAX mentioned you are going to need at least a 4.5" lift if not a 6" lift to fit those tires under the front of your truck.
