whats up guys i'm new to this well i want to get your feed back on a 2005 4x4 crew cab king ranch i'm going to put a auto spring 2.5 " in the front and 1.5 in the rear with 17 x 9 moto metal with 35 " pro comp would it rub do i have to do any cutting or i was thinking in getting a 6" lift or something higher any ideas please advise me with good options thank you snoppy9278

 

35"s will rub on anything other than stock rims with a 2.5" AS. You'll have to go bigger.

 

Or stick with a 33 inch tire.

 

thanks guys i already order the tires and rims so that means that i have to order a lift kit any ideas please thank you some thing 6" or bigger

 

You dont have to go with 6" if you didnt want to, you could always go with the 4" Rancho, I hear that is a really well put together kit. If 6" is what you are set on then there is FabTech, Superlift, Rize, CST, and BDS just to name a few. It all depends on what you are looking for and what you want to spend..

 

I agree with wandell. When I had my 2.5" leveling lit I rubbed just a little with my 33's but they are 13.5's wide. I also have the 951's with 4.5" bs, which makes a difference.

 

I'd suggest the 6 inch Fabtech, RCD or Rize lifts.

 

For the price I love Fabtech...

 

i had a 2 1\2 inch kit with 315-70-17 tires on 17x8 1\2 wheels without any rubbing at all. the backspacing on the wheels were 5 inches. i later switched to 285-70-17s because the truck felt lifeless.

 

dirk upson what year truck and is it 4x4 moto metal have a 4.5 backspacing let me know thanks guys for your help

 

Snoopy, first off the 17" wheels may not clear the brakes on your 05, check before you buy. I would stick with the 18" wheels to be safe.

 

my truck was a 2005 f-150 4x4 supercrew. the wheels cleared the calipers, it was close. the wheels were walker evans racing wheels with 5 inches of backspacing.

 

snoppy, did what rim/tire set did u end up getting? if u got the 17"s after all, you should be ok, i clear 35" no prob with a 6" fabtech and 17s

2005 F150 lariat
