But has anyone had any problems with their truck after cranking the tbars, besides Optimus10?
most people only run into problems if they go past level, 24.25 inches. other than that you might a couple people might mention a difference in ride but sometimes its just the truck

Do you think I would have a higher chance of developing a problem since I'm already running a 4inch lift?

I have a bone stock 2002 F150 FX4 with the 3.73. I am looking at a rough country 2.5 inch leveling kit that includes a 1 inch rear lift block and is supposed to make the front even with the back. I was only looking at 285/70R17 Duratracs, but this thread has made me wonder about 315s. Would 315s fit under this kit without having to trim? Or re-gear? Definitely do not want to re-gear.

If you go that big you'd definitely want to regear

They wont fit without trimming. I would look into a 33x12.50r17 in an LT tread so that the tread depth is more substantial.

You wouldn't have to re-gear it's just recommended if you want some performance back. I'm running stock gears with 315s. Trimming is minimal especially if you don't have a crew cab

Thanks guys. I probably wont go with 35s because I don't have the money to regear and I don't want to lose any power.

Going to try this got the rims and tires on order . Where do you guys get the blocks to level the back out .
Once you crank the t bars do you find as a rule most trucks need the blocks to level out there ride or just a few .

Most likely you'll want the blocks to save on trimming. My FX4 had factory 2" blocks
