Default suspension question

Hello, I just purchased a 2014 super cab f150 4x4. I want to know if the f150lifts boss coil over suspension and an autospring AAL will fit 35" toyos. I also would like thoughts on the f150lifts coils for the 2014. Ive read great reviews about the older years just not much for the 2014. I mostly use my truck for hunting, getting hay, hauling the quad in the bed and mild towing at most, so I feel like the AAL is the best option for me vs. a 3" block. I'm planning on doing an internal winch, would the weight from the effect the ride height at all? I posted in the introductions and didn't get much response, regarding this suspension set up. I greatly appreciate the information.

Default get the BOSS kit ....

I wish Id waited to buy my level kit because my Pro Comp Pro runners are just ok better than stock but you still have the oem coils which suck IMO horrible body roll ... So now Im going to have to buy aftermarket coils and install them to get the ride I want So the lesson here is get what you want and need the first time .... The Boss kit from f150 lifts from what I have read is the best package out there as far as cost and quality go you cant beat it .. There are tons of happy customers posts to read if you l search the site and its the way to go IMO ... and you can run 35's if you want ... (i wouldnt but thats me ) been there and done that on my 02 ... Power loss and MPGs are ridiculous with those big tires but to each his own .... Anyway you dont need anything from autospring if you get the boss kit .... Thats what I wish Id done ... but you live and learn .... and then spend more $$$ .... . Alex from f150 lifts is great about getting back to you right away if you have questions PM him ..

That's what I thought. I learned the hard way with spacers on my Toyota in the Mojave. I want to do the AAL for more payload rather than height. Thank you for the response.

The F150lifts.com suspension uses 700lbs Eibach springs which are top notch and a higher spring rate than stock F150 springs. This should be able to counteract the weight of he winch. Also, the shocks are adjustable so you can dial in ride height.

Alex over there will answer any questions you have and he has great communication and customer service.

not sure the 35s will fit... I have slight rub near full lock on 33 toyo AT2s. so, while you can probably stuff them under there you will be required to do some trimming for sure. Mostly on the front air dam, and possibly on the rear wheel well liner. I'm also still higher than recommended at ~3.5" front lift, but partly the rubbing is due to the tread design on the corners of the toyos.

All the boss coilovers are fairly new and identical regardless of year. the only difference for the 14s is the lower mount due to different LCA designs. They will work well, I love mine.

EDIT: just noticed a guy on stock FX4 rims running 35s with no rubbing.... so guess it's possible depending on the design and true width of the tire. the AT2s are very agressive on the corners, so that's a good possibility why mine rubs. so, "should" work dependingon which toyo you get

So it sounds like its the f150lifts coils is a good option. I plan on getting the 18" Fx4 wheels for my truck since I like the stock wheels, just not the shinny ones I have. lol
