Yes, 2.5” max. But unless you stay on the smoothest pavement, your ball joint, tierods and especially IWE’s may starting wearing out prematurely.

It just doesn’t seem worth it.

Measure it. My 07 is almost exactly 2" difference between the front and back. According to this https://www.f150forum.com/f4/tire-wh...04-08-a-24510/ you should then be able to fit 35's.... according to this.

Mine measure almost exactly 3" front to back! But I read up on 3" leveling kits an they say that 3" kit is very hard on a front end. So I was maybe thinking just go with a 2 an hope for the best!?! Would 35's be rubbing???

I cant tell you. According to the thread I posted they will fit. Thats all I can really tell you. I agree that 2"-2.5" should be your max in the front. I know there is a quite a few pages in that thread I posted but I'm sure there is an answer or two in there. Did you measure from the center of the wheel to the top of the wheel well on each? If it is stock then an 07 4x4 should be the same as my 07 4x4?

Was the truck ever used to plow or anything? Check the front springs for cracks. They could also just be worn and compressed.

Like above, and as I’ve said earlier in the thread, try measuring the corrrct way. It could give you different results.

3” of rake on an 07 isn’t normal. 2004-2005 trucks were the only ones that had that extreme of a rake.

Would 33's/ 12.5 fit on my stock 18" rims or are they to wide (the 12.5) ?
