Default tires question
04 4x4 4dr i just installed a 3in level with 1.5 rear blocks and am wanting bigger tire from what i read on here i can go up to a 35 with out rubbing. Before i order them i want to make sure they will fit plus i pull a 18ft trailer with 2 rzrs on it and it squats my truck some want to make sure they will still not rub when pulling trailer.

I am sure the rears won't rub but I have a feeling the front is going to be close. If it rubs it should be minimal trimming but i can't see a 35 fitting with only 3 inches of lift.

What wheels do you plan on running? Width and offset?

You should be good to go...with the blocks in the rear you still have a rake right ??

What wheel and tire size came stock on your application? Ford has a lot of wheel and tire combinations for there various F-150 models.

This is when I had 315x70x17 BFG AT's on 17x8 wheels with 5.5 inches of BS. This is only 1/2" more outward gain then the stock 17 and 18 inch Ford wheels. I had no rubbing at all with this setup. Remember with 35's you will lose mpg, performance and braking ability even without a loaded trailer behind you. Regearing and a programmer can help out.
