I am looking to add a leveling kit to my 2015 F150. I want it big enough to put 35” tires under it. Also what would be a good width on a 20” rim. I don’t want my gas mileage to be that affected. I’m wanting a 3 and 1 but I’m afraid 3 might be too much for the front as I don’t want the rear higher.

 

I juts bought a 2015 XL and I am looking to put a leveling kit and bigger rim and tire. I am wanting to put 35” tires under it but I’m really not understanding the whole concept of offset. I don’t want to wreck my mileage of course and was wondering if I put a 3” front and 1” back if I could put on 20x10 without affecting anything. For tire I would like to put on 35x12.50.

 

lol

Leveling 101:
3" will be too much.
1. It will put the front end higher than the rear. Go measure the difference between your front and rear fender heights. The difference between those two measurements is what it takes to 'level' your truck. You probably want to keep a .5" of rake there or you'll still look nose high.
2. 3" will put the ball joints on your control arms way out of wack and you'll wear them out fast.
3. 3" will put your CV angles way out of wack and you'll wear them out fast (assuming you're 4x4)
4. Your ride quality will suffer because you'll have very little down travel left since you ate it all up lifting it.
5. Leveling and adding big, heavy 35" tires will impact your gas mileage. Stock tires weigh 40-45lbs a piece. 35s weigh over 60, and probably closer to 70 depending on the tire. Plus the added weight of the new wheels if they are heavier than your stockers. Expect to lose 2mpg+
6. It's difficult to run a 35x12.5 tire on an f-150 without cutting the crash bars. You have to really pay attention to wheel offset, and even then you'll rub if you don't cut them. Lots of people cut them, having seen the crash results of f-150s that don't have them, I'd advise against it.

 

this is not possible. with 35s mpg will drop.

There's more information here.

 

For $10, I'll send you a stencil that you can use to paint your existing sidewalls: "35 x 12.5. Honest." No impact to MPG, no screwing with your suspension, and you can tell people you've got big tires.

I'll PM with my PayPal info.

 

went with a 2’ level front and love it maxed out 35x12.5 -17’ had to cut 4’ of crash bar and have a tad bit rub at full turn ...But wouldn’t change diddy it was GO BIG or Go hide under a ROCK
