So I put the 2.5 inch RC Leveling kit on my 09 xlt. I was just wondering if anyone has put this on and went with 295/70/18 tires. Will they rub or fit nice.

I have 35x12.5-18 toyo mts right now on zero offset and they required some good trimming on my '15 Scab. 2.25 level on front. They still contact on sharp turns and suspension compression. I just ordered some 295-70 St Maxx Coopers and will see how they do when they get in.

Your truck looks awesome, I like the rim and tire combo a lot. That's what I was told by quite a few people. All had said that some trimming would be needed if I went with 35's. My plan was going with the Cooper St Maxx 295/70/18's like you ordered, but wanted some input and opinions before hand. How long until your new tires are in?

All 295s are not created equal. With a seriously aggressive mud terrain you may have some rubbing whereas with others no rubbing at all.

If you are getting new wheels be careful on the backspace. My 295s have less than a quarter inch of space between the tire and the A arm on stock wheels.

should be this week.

Definitely understand where you are coming from. I was thinking of going with the Cooper ST Maxx's or Cooper AT3's. What kind do you have on yours? Damn yeah that isn't much space at all. I'm hoping to get a new set of rims pending on my money situation, and most likely keeping the other set of wheels and tires as of now. Thank you for the info.

Awesome, for sure want to see how they look and hear how they fit on your truck.

I am running Interco SS-M-16s. I did a review on them on this forum. The second post I showed how they fit on the F150 with a leveling kit.

I'm running the Cooper St Maxx in 295/70/18 with Fuel Hostage 0 offset with the F-150 lifts setup. I had to do a little trimming right from the beginning. Most of the time I don't have rubbing, even at full lock, BUT if I'm turning sharp and hit a good bump I will get some rubbing. I may drop down a tire size when these are worn out. So far I've got about 30k miles on them and the tread looks great, so doubt I'll be changing them any time soon!

I'm the same thing with a 2.5 level in front, no rubbing now. I did do some trimming of plastic when I had my 35's on.
