Default What fits...

Ok, so I'm gonna do a 12" lift an 40's, got the ok from "the boss", but that won't be until the warranty runs out on my truck, which is still 2+ years away. So for now I want to level it and throw some new rubber on it. It's a 2007 SCAB FX4 Flareside. What's the biggest tire I can get with no rubbing issues and a leveling kit that is of good quality. Thanks in advance fellas...

Well with my own reading I'm thinking a Auto Springs leveling kit with a set of BF Goodrich 305/65/18's will do the trick...

The Skyjacker leveling kit (2.5') is good quality and i have the 33"x12.5x17 Dick Cepek F/C II.

What 12" kit are you planning on going with when you do this? FTS Full Throttle Suspension does an excellent one. There located here and i have seen there shop. Very nice facility. I wanted to go bigger on my lift kit but I couldn't unless I rebuilt my garage, I only have about 1/2" clearance with a 6" lift.

Did you read the "sticky" at the top of this forums page? It talks about what tires/rims will fit.
