35x12.5R17s on 3" Leveling Kit

Finally took some pics of my truck with the leveling kit and rims and tires. Went with the ReadyLift 3" strut extension plus I added 1" blocks to the rear. Tires are 35x12.5R17 Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrains on 17x9 Pro Comp Alloys with 4.75" backspacing.

There was some rubbing due to the added backspace but all I had to cut was a chunk out of the inner fenders. There is still some slight rubbing on the driver's side at a certain turn but it is so minimal that after I wear out 1/32", it should go away. So glad I went with the 35s.

No pics of the axles or anything. Drives just fine. Not the first to do 3" leveling kit so it should be alright.

Look's great, a little rubbing won't hurt. Just a little aggravating.

I got them at 4-wheel parts. They are a shim kit actually. Each shim is 1/4" thick. They directly to the leaf spring. The kit was $30-$40 I think. They don't have them on their website though.

I wouldn't go with those rims. I was about to and I changed my mind at the last minute. They look good with a deep lip but you won't have that on an F-150. The face will be almost flush with the rim. Show them on an F-150 the other day and I was soooooo grateful I decided against them.
