Would it work?

Have a 05 150 with 3" block in rear had 3" level but that screwed the whole front end up so took it off and put 2" level. Y'all think 35x12.50x18 would fit? Stock wheels

No, how did the 3" screw up your front end?

Puts too much strain on the upper control arms and you get premature wear.

You didn’t mention if you’re 2wd or 4wd. 4wd trucks are 1.5” taller up front than 2wd.

It will be a tight fit with 35s if you are 2wd.

285/70 was the biggest I went on my 2wd... had some rub up front at full turn. 35s will be a bit much and also tank your fuel economy if you don’t regear.

Would it work?
