Home Forums Gear Hunting Trucks and Four-Wheel Drives Leveled F150 tire fitment questions

I have a 2021 F150 powerboost CC, 4x4 with a 6.5 bed.

I have put a 2” front spacer level kit in it. I currently run LT 275/70/18 tires on the factory wheels. I am thinking of going to a 285/75/18 (35” tire) when I replace my current tires. Any issues with rubbing or fitment on the factory wheels? Anyone else run something like this?

I run 33x12.5r20's with no rubbing issues on a 1 1/2" leveling kit. My f150 is a little older though. I was told, that was about max.

Black F150 with lift

Here's somebody that did it.

American Trucks also did 35" on factory 17" wheels with no lift. (middle of video)

I had a 2018 f150 3.5 ecoboost 4x4 cc 6.5 bed with 2” leveled front

On factory wheels ran nitto 35” tires with no rubbing issues at all.


It dropped fuel mileage 4mpg though

I never took it to full lock and tested but routine driving was without issue

I did rub once with the 33's. In the sand dunes and hit a bump pretty hard getting up a hill. The salesman said that for my intended use, 33 would be max. He would have sold me bigger.

Plus you got an extra half inch of clearance

You after looks or actual offroading?

I did the same 2" level on a 2016 F150 & ran Nitto 285/75/18 Ridge Grapplers. 5.0 engine with 3.73s. No rubbing & no issues off road, snow or towing. As mentioned, MPG will suffer.

I run 20's on my 2" leveling kit, so can't comment. But, when I went to a bigger tire, my tire guy said he'd mount a front and if it rubbed, we'd go smaller.

All these level kits. What happens when you actually put stuff in the bed of your truck?
How many of you adjust your headlights after you raise the front up 2 inches? I sure as [bleep] get tired of being blinded by the [bleep] around here.

Also destroys Ball Joints, not to mention alignment issues. Done properly involves more then blocks.

I’ll bet you put playing cards on the spokes of your bike when you were a kid.

Truth.

After installation you have to do a proper alignment. You also need to reprogram for the larger tire size for shifting points.

Yep, and depending on the wagon, upper control arms are often in order.

Oldelkhunter is right, if you are going to do it do it right. I did a 2" level kit on my 2018 Dodge, it is a Falcon. Pay once and save yourself down the road, in many headaches.

When I brought it home.


After level kit. I am on 33's I can run 35's just choose not to.

I was doing this for looks - I think I will just stick to LT275/70/18 like I have on it now.
