What's up everyone! Hey, I have a 2006 F-150XL 5.6L V8 4x4. I'm debating about having to put a lift kit on my truck. I found the tires and rims I want...35" Toyo MT's and XD black rims. My question is, will I be able to fit 35's on my truck with ONLY a leveling kit or will I need to do a full on lift?? Anybody have advice or recommendations I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

My suggestions is get a lift kit. Not to big is needed. I have 33" Toyo A/T with 18"rims. with a 2.5" leveling kit and it rubs when they are turned all the way. So i suggest a 4" lift kit.

You will no have a problem since you are upgrading your rims. I have 35x12.50 under mine. rubbed a little on the wheel well liner. Put a clip to hold it back no more rub.

if it doesnt fit just cut it. i would go with a 4 inch or you could go with a 6 inch for 35's

I put Toyo 325/65 r18 on my truck with a 6" lift and they hit slightly but mine were 35 x 13" wide Look up specs at toyo web site
See the are marked where I trimmed and cut the frt was platic and the rear of tire was move the plastic do hammer work on metal and reinstall plastic

the 35's will fit just fine if you keep your stock wheels.... otherwise, you generally have to stay with a 33 on aftermarket wheels.... until you lift.

Thx! Yeah, I'm thinking of the 35" with 18" rims. So I guess I'll have to be thinking about a lift kit??

get a lift!
i went with a rough country, many guys despise them but thats because they are a cheaper kit which use spacers and what not. i paid 1350 for a 6" kit for 04-08. got it installed paid a good friend 300$ i just have to align it today,
with any lift the ride will suffer but in my opinion its totally worth the 3 months of saving, i upgraded my brakes also. i went with rough country because i rarely ever take my truck off road and i strayed for the whole install and it seems very sturdy. everyone with a rough country product speaks highly of them. their a private company that design and make everything in house, you dont pay for the name either. comes with 2 nitro shocks in the back, raises the back 5in and front 6 in created a little bit of a rake but i plan on gettin a set of bilstein 5100s to level it out perfect.
good luck bro the lift is the ultimate mod in my eyes. i dont regret a thing!

I have been messing with my truck for a month now. I have the ride at where I want it Almost.
I wanted the rear level with the frt after the 6" lift
Playing with strut adjustments
Adding A leaf spring in the rear
Balancing frt drv shaft and replacing the rear Drv shaft main section (too short)
I have ordered a rear sway bar for next weeks change. That should do it for the suspension.

From the first day I drove my 6" lift to now - the handling has improved big time!!!

Also I have got the engine running much stronger with the Exhaust, SCT tuner, K&N CAI

then I added the bull bar and KC lites (KC because of Price 165.00 for the kit)

I am thinking about doing a spray liner for the rear inside wheel wells and also for just the tail gate on the inside. I will do that myself - may cost around 20.00
