No rubbing at all? Is it 4x4 also?

Sharp truck! Do you think they would rub without the leveling kit?

I went with 275 60 20 ko 2s with a 1.5" level and I love it. I tow my travel trailer, take it off road and drive mountain passes frequently so im glad i went with the 60s. I didn't want to decrease my gearing too much, the tires get heavier the larger they are...and you only gain .5" of lift which is realistically nothing. The 60s are also d rated and a better match for a half ton truck than the e rated ones. I love the way they look and would do it again

Thank you! I honestly couldn't tell you. I've seen posts going both ways. Some fine and some needed minor trimming.

I did the same thing for the same reasons - very happy with the D-rated 60s

What kind of MPG are you getting with the D rated 60's. are you ecoboost or 5.0. i believe that the D rated 60's would be a decent improvement over the E rated 65's

Mines a 5.4. I lost maybe 1 mpg at the most. Compared to scorpions, or other comparable stock tires it will drop a bit. Heavier, bulky, a more resistant tread pattern, etc. I get around 18mpg average. I mainly do highway driving, but i'm always either ascending or descending mountains. If I baby it at 90-100km an hour I can get 20, if i fly up the hills at 130km an hour ill get 15. It's all relative to your driving style & conditions, so take what people say their MPG is with a grain of salt.

Good size tire for these F-150's...I'm thinking about going with the D rated BFG's when I wear out the Toyo's. I only want to stick with a 33" tire with my 3.31 gearing plus get the different look of the KO'2's vs the Toyo's. Your truck looks great with them on!
