Default BFG King Ranch 4x4

I have a 2013 f150 King Ranch 4x4. I have done a bunch of research on the site prior to buying tires. I wanted the biggest BFG KO2 tires I could fit without having to put a leveling kit on. It seemed that many people had 275/65/R20 without rubbing issues so that is what I went with. I got them installed yesterday and figured out that I rub when backing up at full lock. The reason I did not want to level it is because I do a good bit of towing. What are my options? If I do go with a level, would a 2" put me higher in the front? Would a 1.5" be not enough to clear the rubbing?

Thanks in advance.

Have you figured out where you're rubbing?

Many times it's just the far edge of the lower plastic air dam, which can be trimmed very easily to clear.

You'll clear them 1.5" just fine. My truck is set to abotu 1.5" up from stock via coilovers and there's plenty of room.

1.5" motofab or auto spring would suit you just fine!

Default level

Yes, its the plastic piece under the fender. To my knowledge, it only rubs on the driver side. What did a 1.5" put you guys at? Right at level? Or still some rake?

1.5 autospring would be your best bet.
