The iwe solenoid is a common problem as well (cheap fix).

I have a 2005 F150 4x4 SCREW and I have Dick Cepek DC-2 Rims still new in the box and ordered 305/65R/17 BFG AT KO.

I will also be installing this weekend a 3" Level kit with 1" in the rear will these cause me any rubbing issues.

Specs On the Rims Are

Back Spacing 4.5
Offset -12

Thanks

Default XD Spy's

Ok guys,

I need some of you all's fine opinions. I have narrowed my wheel search down to two types:

1: Mamba M2 17 x 8

2: XD Spy's 17 x 8




My truck specs:

06 2WD with 2" Leveling kit
Current Tire: Yokohama Geolander 315/70R17

Rubbing only occurs @ FULL CRANK and very MINOR..... What exactly do I need to make this look good as far as backspacing goes?

Thanks

Needing some expert advice: I am currently running 38.5/14.5/20s on my screw. Gears are 4.88, and I have about 10" lift. I want to swap out the tires for 44"s. Anybody have any advice? Should I try to go a little higher, or just cave and do the bodywork to get the clearance. I think my front end will handle it, but any other advice about beefing it up?

(And yes, I know I'm stupid for trying to run 44s, but I want to.)

Thanks guys!

Okay I have a 3" suspension lift kit and my 18x9 rims have a backspacing of 4.56. If 4wd 2" leveling kits can fit 35s how come I can only fit 33s and rub slightly?
