More aggresive 2006 F150 ext cab stx 4wd
Hey guys i have a 2006 silver f150 and i want to make it look more aggressive and have a bunch of questions and want to hear your thoughts and ideas. Have plans to put bigger tires and new black matte rims on the truck. Right now i have stock everything on the truck but im thinking about adding a 2" leveling kit to the front so i can add some bigger tires..what kind of leveling kit works best and what would i need? with the leveling kit will i be able to fit 35" without rubbing and if so what width do i want that wont stick out of the wheel well?

35's fit?
Will at 35" Nitto mud grappler fit on my truck with a 2" or a 2.5" tuff country or auto spring leveling kit without any rubbing? i've seen thread after thread where some people say they dont have any rubbing at all with 35 and some have a little and either have to deal with it our trim which i dont want to do. Think it will work? open to suggestions

Canuck with a truck
Here's my truck, 08 4x4 2" level and 33's. when you decide on what rim you want is when you can decide on tire size. the only way you can fit 35's with a level is if your rims are factory or as close two factory backspacing (5.5") and offset (+44mm). My rims are 9" wide compared to stock 7.5" and my backspacing is 5" and my offset is 0, these differences from stock pushed my tire out 2.5" past the fender. But i could only fit 33's without rubbing, i could squeeze 34's in there but i would have to take a large chunk out of my front valance and wheel well liner which ain't a big deal.

So if i dont want to much tire hanging out from my wheel well i should like for 9" or smaller? i like the looks of the rockstar black matte rims with nitto mud grapplers so i figure i would have to get 33" in the end even though i am doing a 2" tuff country leveling kit cause i dont want to have to deal with any rubbing or trimming and its tough to judge with 35"
