Default 89 F150 35's with 2in. Leveling Kit?

I have an 89 F150 XLT Lariat that has stock 2in. blocks on the rear. I currently have 33x12.50.15 BFG All-Terrains and I want to go up to 35's. Would a 2in. leveling kit be enough to run 35's in the front? They will fit in the back but would rub up front.

U will deff rub up front. Minimum of 4 inches up front to run 35s. Maybe u can get away with it with some cutting and some rims with a hell of a lot of backspacing

Sorry I was wrong, may want to go bait taller just because you're basically adding two extra inches with 35s

If you clear 33's no problem maybe it already has a levelling kit in it?

I was thinking that as well. Or the bumper is spaced. Oooor not to insult your intelligence, but r u sure they are 33's? My general tire 33's cleared factory as well. But what is advertised on the tire and actual measurements can be different. Mine actually measure .5 inches short...

I'm assuming it's 4x4. If so you'll be fine with some cutting and 35s or putting the kit on and then a 1 inch coil spacer to give that boost. If 4x2 then throw in 4 inches kit for clearance
