Those should be 35's and with a leveling kit yes you should be able to. As far as kits go they are all pretty much the same. I have a 180 eBay 3in kit with a rear block and the front spacer is billet aluminum. I like it over the steel ones that are 2 flat plates with a pipe in between. I feel that the aluminum is a more solid spacer than the 2.5in pipe with metal plates on ea end are. But that's my .02 worth.

I have read that the 3 leveling kit puts alittle too much stress on the front end. What is your guys opinion and have you ever developed any problems with driveabilty or NVH?

You have an fx4 correct? You cant go above 2 on those due to some suspension differences. I've had mine since December and about 20k and haven't had any problems come up yet.

It's said that you can but it will cause a harsh ride and drivability issues so it's not recommended.

Hey everyone I have an 05 f150 crew cab 2wd. I just put a 3" hell bent steel leveling kit on the front. I plan to buy 20" aftermarket wheels. Is their no way that I would fit 35x12.50?

Help! I thought I did all the figuring out right. 2004 supercrew 4x4 leveling shocks giving me 2 1/2 of lift in the front. 305x65x18 BF Goodrich TKO 18x9 M0951 Moto metal's with a 4 1/2 back spacing. By all the threads I read should of fit but when I turn certain ways they are hitting on the bottom corners. Trimmed the valence and are still hitting. Bought a 3 inch performance accessories body lift but halfway through the install decided I do not want to go that way.do not have $2000 to shell out for a suspension lift. Any suggestions? Rims with more backspace or less off set? Different tires? The TKO's were $340 a pop.
