I just ordered a 3.5" leveling kit for my 05 f150 4x4 and also ordered 18x9 fuel lethal wheels with a -12 offset. I plan on running 35x12.5x18 mud grapplers. Will this setup work with no rubbing or only minor trimming!?

I hope you can return that leveling kit man because you will destroy your front end with that. You might be able to get away with that on a 2wd but it would just be way to much of a bind on the front driveshafts. The 3" I put on my truck was the worst thing I ever did. Finally got a proper 4" lift kit on it.

I kno, I kno... Just don't have the money for a proper lift right now... It come with inch and a half taller rear blocks, too. Does that help any? And what kind of damage am I looking at?

The rear blocks won't help any, and you could break your CV Shafts, wear out all of your balljoints. In fact if your upper control arms didn't rest off of your coil springs I would be shocked. I would stick with a 2.5".

You likely wouldn't fit the tires you wanted with the offset on that wheel anyways.

It comes with offset spacers so the UCA doesn't hit the coil. And why would they sell a kit that's just gunna destroy a truck anyway? Now I'm pretty upset, lol

Because it's your only option without paying $1500+

Take a look on the forum and you won't find anyone who will even recommend a 3" much less a 3.5"

Thats horrible. Who even makes a 3.5 level? Honestly i dont think you could even install it. It will bind up the upper control arm and cvs like stated while install i would think....

Fml...

Dont quote me man im nothing but a "at home mechanic" lol- but when i added my kings set at like 2-1/4" i didnt even like the angle on those so i bought the camburg uca's. I couldnt imagine what a 3.5" level would look like.

U could pretty much buy a 4" suspension lift for what aftermarket UCA's cost, though
