as mentioned before, it all depends on the drive thru. i have 35's and where i live the drive thrus are pretty tiny and i find my self doing a 3 point turn to get through. my girlfriend lives in East County just east of san diego and its like bro-central there. lots of big lifted trucks. i can usually get through those no problem.

It's a 6" Pro Comp lift. Pretty basic spacer lift.
I went through a couple drive thrus and made it, but usually had a rear wheel go over a curb at some point. One drive thru was kind of tight and had poles/barriers along the curb which really made me nervous. Could put a dent in the side.
So for now, I'm just planning to not use drive thrus unless I'm pretty sure there will not be issues. I have noticed that, as mentioned above, newer drive thrus seem to be wider and easier to get through.

Did you install the kit yourself or have a shop do it? The newer Pro Comp lifts have a washer system to adjust the steering stops on the back of the knuckles. The shop that installed mine didn't adjust the steering stops and left me with a terrible turning radius. Pretty simple fix, only need an Allen wrench. You should be able to find the instructions on pro comp's website if that's the problem.

I have a 2011 super crew 4x4 with 35 x 12.5 x 18 wheels.

1.) It's a lifted 4x4 on 35s. Run up the curbs as long as there's no poles, walls or display menu in the way. In my Mustang I have to worry about curbs and medians. In my F150, I go over them. One time I tried to pull into a UHaul place but went into the wrong lot and there's no connecting driveway. So... I just went over the curb and grass lol
If #1 is not your cup of tea then...
2.) Give up fast food. It's bad for you lol
I'm 2" leveled with 1.5" spacers. Haven't had any issues so far with driving it. Been off roading thru tight trails and still fit.
