They aren't spings, just a spacer. The install does not require a pro mechanic. If you are handy with tools it should take you less than 2 hrs.
Alot of guys run 35's and can chime in with sizes. Popular choices are 325/65/18 and 305/70/18 I believe, but be aware that they may require some trimming. 33's will fit just fine.

I have a 04 XLT 4x4. i really want some 35's. I found a 3" leveling kit (front W/ new springs and shocks) that comes with a 3" block in the rear (to replace stock 1.5, so i dont sag) Wondering if I could fit 35's with this set-up? What kind of wheels should I go with? Back spacing? I want these to stick out of the fenders!

I'm pretty sure those can fit 35's, as for the wheels, it is your preference. If I had the newer model f150, i would go with a moto metal brand. If you get a 35 inch tire, they should stick out a decent amount if you have about 4.5" of backspacing.


I myself am about to buy some AT tires off of tirepackage.com right now and i need your guys help, which of the 3 do you think i should get (they are all 35 inch tires in 16" rim)


BF Goodrich All Terrain - $704.80
Nitto Terra Grappler - $739.80
Procomp Xtreme A/T - $787.80


What are your reasons for one over the other, as in tread wear, noise, and one thing i'm looking for is a beefy look, so i'm leaning towards the prcomps.

thanks!

BFG all Terrain K/O's. I will never put another tire on my trucks. They are the best tire in the world. they also last forever. just keep em rotated and balanced

They are a good tire. Not the "best in the world." They have a good tread life, but wont "last forever." Some other tires to look at are the toyo at, mickey thompson atz, and the **** cepel fcII. They are all good tires, I would suggest the pro comp xtreme at or toyo at.

Will a 35x12.5x18 fit on my stocks rims? Also will they rub? I am going with the 2.5" Auto Spring level/lift kit. I dont want to do any trimming.

Hey if your not 100% sure to what you want to do with your truck. I have 4 stock Goodyear ATS 275/65/18. Throw me like $150 bucks plus 1/2 shipping. They only have 8,000 miles on them and would buy you some time. Let me know.

I've always had Goodyear AT/S and now Silent Armor on mine and have zero complaints. I'm an all season user, minimal off road and they are well up to anything I need. Another choice if you can get it is the Michelin LTX M/S, very good all around tire, retarded long tread life. I would get a size for sure then narrow down from a few favorite brands.

I definitely want to go with at least 33's, most likely 35's now that i got the 2.5" lift. Just dont want to do any trimming if possible.
Also I am looking at getting the nitto terra grapplers or the toyo a/t.

with a leveling kit and stock rims you can fit the 35's. It will look sweet! You won't have to do any trimming, you will have very minor rubbing, only at full steering lock.
