I know, I know use the search bar... I did and found some answers but I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2" level kit with rear block from Autospring and get some Nitto Terra Grappler 275/65R20. Will these fit without rubbing? Even if the wheel is under some articulation? I'm not planning to be a hardcore offroader, but at the same time if i happen to hit a large bump or puthole don't wanna wreck anything.

I've seen only about 1 or 2 trucks on this site with that set up please help if you know if it works... BTW it's a 2011 FX4 crew cab 6.5' box. Also do you guys know if I will need to use angle shims on the rear axle to keep it within specs?

Thanks, any help and pics would be appreciated.

I've got that size BFG on mine with no level or lift. No rubbing at all.

Here is a tire calculator to help you, http://www.therangerstation.com/tech...nch_Tires.html
I run 295/70R18 remember you have to be clear on the offset or you may get a rub. Anything over 33 inch tires might rub if you go hard in a driveway while turning without proper offset. I have seen several posts on people with the exact same tire as me and they rub, because of the offset not being right. This is the single most important and over looked aspect of tires and wheels. Nobody wants to tear up a brand new set of tires. Some people live with a slight rub some dont.. Severe articulation in the suspension requires careful measuring and you really need to be there when they get installed... I run a 34.3 inch tire 11.6 wide 33mm offset and have not rubbed at all so far. But time will tell when I do some good offroading... When I get pictures I will post when it really gets suspension moving... You can rub in front valance, rear of front wheel well and against the inside also frame and steering components... Just check it yourself....

I have that setup with 2" HBS level and the 275/65/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I love it. No rubbing at all and rides great. Had my truck in 4x4 last week on some snow/muddy roads with lots of potholes. No issues at all.

I have the 5.5' bed so I can't answer that question. Works great on the short bed though.

The Nitto Terra Grappler's I wanted at $1238 shipped to my door with custom fees and everything are not available for shipping to Canada anymore.. This is because somehow Kal Tire a company up here in Canada bought the rights to Nitto. This is B.S. they wanted $435 per tire up here and i was going to pick them up!!! That's like $500 more and they are already in Canada! Anyways the guy from Discount was good and offered me some Hankook Dyna Pro ATM's for $1330 shipped to my door so still not bad.... I just pisses me off that nitto and kal tire could do this.

Everything asside my new level kit from Autospring is on it's way 2"from and 3" rear block, and my 276/65R20 ATM's are also on their way.

I'll post picks of the install and the finished product when i get the parts.

My speedo is about 3 miles off when comparing to my gps.

Well you actually have a percentage its off. It is not off 3mph all the time, at a given speed its off 3 mph. If your going slower its off less, faster its off more. Probably off about 5% if I were guessing, 65mph off 3 mph thats about how mine is. Give or take 1 mph.....

True.

Well my tires came in today!!! Wow they look great, just waiting on the level kit to go and get them put on. The shipping from Discount tire direct was really quick tires ordered monday night and delivered thursday and this is a US to Canada transaction. The only problem was that the UPS guy was a total dick to my wife, she asked him to put them in the garage and he dropped them out front and said "you deal with them!! i just moved all 4 at 66lbs each".

Here are some pics.
