I have read so many posts about 35's and leveling kits and so many people debating between 2" and 2.5" leveling kit that caused such a huge headache and made me wait a lot longer then I should of to do more to my truck. For starters I have 2013 f150 fx4 5.0

I bought auto spring 2.5" strut spacer and got the 3" rear block for the rear. I do strongly recommend auto spring for their great quality of product. Pro comp es9000 extended shocks for +4" rear lift

The wheels I have are the stock raptor wheels which are 17x9 I believe with +20mm offset

Tires are bfg ko's 315/70r17 (34.4x12.4r17)

At full lock I have zero rubbing and backing up and turning I've had zero rubbing thus far. My upper control arms are stock and aren't at near as bad angles as I expected with how majority of people talk. My CV's are roughly at only a 25-30 degree angle which isn't bad at all either.





These tires are at 11/32's tread depth

After




Hope this helps others that are stuck on making decisions

 

Looks fantastic! I did the same as yourself, except I have a 2" on the front. I think the Raptor wheels are +34 offset though. At any rate, that tire/wheel combination just slipped right in, zero problems. I knew for a long time I needed to replace my stock 18" chrome clads, but really never found a wheel I thought I'd like for a few years, until I saw another XLT with those wheels, then the hunt began. Cost me some bucks, but it was what I was after.

Do you have some up close pics? Are the 22s same width at the stock 20s?

 

The wheels are 22x9, not sure if the 20's are 8.5" or 9". I'll try and get close pics when I get home this afternoon.

 

 

Looks great...the Raptor wheels have ideal specs to run the 315x70's. They are 17x8.5 with almost a 6 inch backspacing so they only stick out 1/2" more then stock. That helps to give more clearance in the front when turning.

 

Perfect setup 2" Front, 3" rear i had zero complaints, I ran 295/70r18 on +25 offset!!! My Old Rig @JohnDay it may be headed your way, heard an American is buying it

 

That would be cool if it shows up around me. I always liked your truck, plus, it would give me someone to talk to that enjoys Fords instead of what most drive around here. I have been seeing more and more XTR's lately, but they're all stock.
Good luck with getting that Super Dude, I wish I'd have kept my last one.
