leveling kit tires?
i have a 2006 f150 5.4 4door xlt. love the truck does great with everything. i bought the truck with a 2 inch leveling kit. on hwy tires. the tires are a size p275/65r18 which i guess is a size 32.1. my question is with the 2 inch leveling lift how big can i go tire size. i want a slightly beefier tire as i am a hunter and fisherman and camper. im in the hills almost every weekend. any help on tire and type would be awesome. also if i got a 4 inch level kit what would i need to do the back end to level it out? thanks, Greg

Check out the Tire and wheel fitment guide. I have a leveled 2wd and run 265/70/r18 tires which are a shade below 33. The size you have is stock on 4wd trucks, if you have a 4wd truck you have plenty of room to play with sizes.

No worries! if you play your cards right you can cram 35s. I would give the wheel and tire fitment guide I linked to a good look and decide if you are going to do aftermarket rims, or stay stock. Then you can choose tires based on that! Good luck! Post back with any questions
Looks like you can do 35x12.5s on stock rims, and have tons of options aftermarket.

Just toss'er in there
I think a lot of guys run 305/70/18s. If you're using stock rims I'd also look at your options with a 285 width.

Hey Redteck, just jumpin in here, I was able to fit 33;s under my 2" leveling kit.. if you go to discount tire, they will assist in helping you choose, but they recommended me go with I think 30's or 31's can't remember, but I was able to fit 33's. Like atnolan94 said, you can fit 35's, how ever I think you actually have to do some cutting. So maybe go with a 4" kit instead and you'll for sure be able to squeeze 35's with out adjustment. Just a suggestion! good luck, post some pics of your truck once you decide!
