How much lift to run 315/75R16's?
Hi everyone, new to this community. Just traded in my 07 Rubicon Unlimited on a F150 STX 4.6L.
How much lift would I need to install in order to get a 315/71R16 tire on this truck with little to no rubbing?
Looks like theres a lot of room in there, but I just don't know how much these suspensions travel.
Thanks!

Thats equivalent to a 35" tall tire so if its 2wd you will need more than just a leveling kit, probably 4-6" of lift. If its 4wd a leveling kit should allow enough clearance. Word of caution tho, I know in most if not all cases 16" wheels dont fit on the newer trucks. The spindle and brakes calipers will only allow a 17" wheel and up

I probably should go to a 4X4 shop instead of shopping on craigslist...
