Default Level or lift?

I'm looking to fit at least a 35" tire on my 10 scab, I've looked into leveling kits a lot and for the price they don't look too bad, can I get that size or close to it without a lift?

Please post pics of your truck with leveling kit on it or lift with bigger size tires. Just trying to get an idea.

Thoughts?..

Lift it!

Look around for pics. No shortage. But know that pics don't do it justice. Your local Ford dealers may have a few trucks they built on the lot.

Normally I would say level but to be sure with a 35" tire I am going go with the above comment and say just lift it. There is a member on here who has a red FX4 Scab and he has either a 4" lift or a 6" lift and might have 35's (or 33's). It looks great. I'm sorry, I forget his name but I've posted in his threads.

Is money a factor? Lift away. Levels and the correct wheel choices make 35s possible too tho.

4" lift, 35's,..... (2wd). <--- makes a difference as a 4wd will sit about 2" higher.

Thanks for all the feedback, any idea which company makes a decent lift for a decent price? Trucks all look great, I'm slowly in the process of upgrading.

Money... Yea possibly a little bit of a factor, but if I could bump up the tire size and then a small-decent lift I'd be satisfied

Rough country 4 inch for about $1k.

Labor $700-1000 maybe depending on shop. Alignment required after.
