Default Leveling Kit Questions

I do apologize in advance if this has been posted elsewhere and been answered but I am so conflicted and measurements I do not completely understand.

I am so conflicted in a couple different things. I could not find a straight answer and again I apologize if there is a straight answer else where. I am not a mechanic and don't have the language full understood.

My question is if I put a 2.5" leveling kit will I be able to fit 35s without rubbing? If that is not the case would 33s work better?
Next question is : Do I need to do anything to the back end if I put the leveling kit on??

Thank you in advance.

When you install a level up front it does exactly what the word level means, it levels your truck with the rear, no more rake... you need not do anything with the rear end cause if you do, it will not be level no longer. 35's will fit depending on which wheels you are gonna have, the offset and back spacing of the wheel is what will enable the size tire. You can run most 33's with no problems at all.

I told you... depends on your wheels. You have not provided that info yet.

That's a tire size not a wheel size.
