I've got a 95' f150 w/ a 6" suspension lift on 35's. Anyways I still get some rubbing in the front when i turn. My question is should I go with spacers or the dreaded 1"-2" bodylift.

They rub the back of the fenders? I've got a 96 with a 3" lift and 35"s and have tons of room! but there's a secret!

Well it's not much of a secret, but with my years of building TTB front ends for racing i've found that if you're running a 10" wide wheel with alot of offset it doesn't help. There is one thing you can try if you've got the extended radius arms. Run a spacer on the radius arm at the back right before the first big washer, most trucks can take a 1/2" spacer with no problems. On my prerunner trucks we run a radius arm that is 1" longer to move the tire away from the cab and the heater box at full compression. You might have to move your bumper forward so it won't rub on it! The last truck I built for a customer had 4"s of lift and had 37"s on it with no rubbing! I can post pics if needed!

I believe this is the first time I've not gotten a striaght answers. I just bought the tires, I'm not buying another set. I have to pull a camper and sometimes I have to turn pretty sharp to get it in some places, and I'm not getting rid of the camper. You mock Bajadale for his "crazy" idea but he's the only one that has giv'in me a straight answer, thanks Bajadale. If theres really no other option then pulling a bodylift on it well than so be it.

but uh... there really ARE better ways around it. if you pull a camper, i would not but a body lift on. i wouldnt even consider it. and i hope your regearing for your camper as well..
