If you mean the tires will rub then no, if you mean the spacer will cause the coil to rub then yes, if I were you I would dish out the money for rancho quicklifts or bilsteins being that you just dished out 40k+ on the truck and you should treat it as good as possible. For reference I'm getting a 2.5in spacer from HBS that should be here tomorrow or thursday, when I save up enough money I will get bilsteins

Just curious how you like the ride of your truck with the Kings and the BFG all terrains. I have the same King Setup and am running 286/60 R20 Goodyear Silent Armor tires; hate the ride of the tires. King just re-valved my shocks and also put in a thinner fluid that wont get so thick in cold temperatures. So far I'm extremely impressed with the ride quality, but still want to change the tires.

I'm not sure what u mean about my coil spring rubbing ? U mean when it preloads the individual wraps of the coil will hit? Iv never heard of that happening but then again iv never ran a leveling kit on any of my trucks always a suspension lift.

2" level with factory wheels and 33's will work just fine on any 4x4 f150. if you do a 33x12.50 there may be rubbing depending on tread design. i have no idea what he means by coil rubbing.

this thread while help you. very first thread that is a sticky in the 09 sections. enjoy that new ford of yours.

Not sure what you mean by revalving your shocks? I put the 2inch spacers on and went, no problems at all. My truck rides just a little bit better than stock as well.
