15 f250 lift or leveling kit
I have 15 f250 and am looking into lifting it for 35" tires... I like the stage 4 readylift 3.5" and would then buy some rancho 9000's. Question is that all I need? I pull trailers a lot so I don't want wheel hop etc... Or am I better off going with a 6" rough country 4 link? Money is an option for me. Thanks in advance

you can run 35s stock, 37s with 2 to 3.5" of lift. If you tow and use the truck bed, go with the minimal lift you need to clear. If you like the big wheel well gap look, then go with more lift.
37's with 3.5 front, 2" rear (4" block)

That's incredible you're telling me 35 inch tires fit stock rims I had 325 65 18 basically 35 inch tires had a two and a half inch lift in the front an inch block in the back actually a 5 inch block and they just cleared the front with aftermarket tires I have a 2016 f350 right now diesel you're telling me I can put BFGoodrich is on there without lifting the truck?? I know the truck looks like there's more room than the 2009 design but that much? Thanks again

I think 08-10 Super Duties had a similar amount of room in the fender well. I know I have seen guys running 35's stock and 37's on a leveling kit with those model years.
I now run 37x13.50x20 on stock wheels with a 2.5" level. Had them on for about 11k miles with no issues.

Okay guy somebody's got their information incorrect stop by my tire dealer who has been putting big up size 35 inch tires on my trucks said that you guys are smoking something first of all the factory wheel is only 8 inches and will balloon the tire way too much secondly with the offset factory will be rubbing against everything inside who's right or wrong remember I have an XLT not a lariat 2016 with a 6.7 there's not a lot of room between that tire right now and the fender well. I would just hate to lift the truck like my old one I'm not going to keep it that long do too the high mileage this year here's a picture of my old truck lifted

Some people won't install a 13.5" wide tire on the stock 8" wheel. The Toyo RT I run calls for an 8.5" minimum wheel width. I am good with what I run. My tires do rub on the radius arms, but that is all. My previous 315/60/20 Toyo MTs rubbed on the radius arms too. I am happy with the level and 37's. I really didn't want to go any higher since I tow a 5th wheel too. I don't know what else to tell you...it works fine on my truck for my use. As with anything...your mileage may vary, but my information is all correct.
