Final decision

I plan on getting Moto Metal 951 18x9 and 33x12.5R18 Toyo MT

I have a 2005 F150 Screw 4x2. I'm going to get a 2.5" Autospring, will it fit? Or will I need some lift in the rear and or trimming in the front? Thanks

They may fit if you get the model with 5.7 or 6.1 inches of backspacing.

Alright thanks man. Would they have room for flex, because I do go off road occasionally.

mine fit. and i have 4.53 inches of backspacing.

i didn't trim at all.

i only rub when i back up down a hill and cut it sharp all at the same time.

not backing up on flat or anthing.

you should be fine!

i'm also 4x2, running 305/60/18 terra grapplers with 4.53 inches of backspacing and -12mm offset.

2.5 AS kit as well.

P.S.- as for the back problem, i didn't install my AAL yet, but the back is fine without it, and it didnt rub or anything when i hit the speed bumps at my school at 30 today for a test.

so no, you probably won't need to lift the rear, unless you do some serious offroading.
