Question Leveing Kit Question

I have a 07 FX4 on Bilstein 5100 series shocks adjusted to 2.5 inches. I have no strut spacers and my rear leaf blocks appear to be stock. I'm trying to fit 20x14 wheels (I know, 14 wides, save the complaining) wrapped in 33x13.5 tires w/o major rubbing. Is it possible for me to get 2.5" front strut spacers and higher rear leaf blocks w/o buying a whole lift kit? Right now I am running stock FX4 wheels (18x9) on 275/65/r18 tires. I'll leave images below.


Yes the wheels are plasti-dipped, bought them on the truck, hence why I'm buying new wheels.

No you can’t add spacers on top of your 2.5” lifted coil over shocks. You already have the front end raised 2.5” which is as high as you should go. Adding spacers would mean you’re lifting the front 5” and it’s just not possible. Parts wouldn’t even bolt back together. And if they did, it would be an awful ride and you ruin all of your front end components right away.

Possible? Maybe
Should you? No

But it's your truck you can do whatever the hell you want, just might not work out well lol

But if you'd like to try I've got a 2 inch leveling kit if you wanna buy it

Dont do that to someone. You know it’s not going to work and it’ll just destroy his front end if it doesn’t.

More importantly, why do people take pics at 45 degree angles?

Probably because they don't know how to hold their phone properly, or they're trying to by artsy fartsy.
