Probably a 2.5" level

 

Would that be am aggressive
stance though?

 

i have a friend that fit 35x12.50 mud grapplers on his fx4 with a 2.5 level. he has some wheels and i don't know what offset they are, somewhere around 0 i think though. they stick out some but not as far as -12. i think he had to trim the factory flares some though

 

I just dont want to order these and be SOL

 

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to this stuff my question:
I recently went to get stock tires for my 04 f150 Stx 2wd, so 255/65R17 and the guy was like man those look ridiculously small but it was the factory size.
If I read your post correctly I can put Size: 33X12.5R17 on my truck and not have any rubbing or problems? Thank you for any advice guys

 

If you keep your stock wheels then yes. You might rub on the upper control arm in sharp turns because they are so wide but if you get a say 275 through 305 tire that is 33" tall then you should be fine.

 

Anyone see any issues at all or have an opinion on dropping my bilsteins back to the stock setting and putting my 2.5 level kit back on to get back the height i lost with the bilsteins? they only gave me ~2in which is about what i figured they would but now my 305/65/18 rub slightly at full lock on the UCA and didnt before. not a huge deal but as far as i can see, it would just go back to where it was before just with a better shock absorber, but am i missing anything?

 

What about these?
