I am ordering the Bilstein 5100's with 2" lift. I currently have a 2004 Ford F150 FX4 with 18" stock wheels. Is there any way to put 35's on these wheels without having the tires rub? Any suggestions for an addtional, cost effective, upgrades to be able to purchase 35's or should I stick with 33's? I think 33x12.50/18 is a big as I can go with only 2" of lift.

 

You can fit 35x12.50's useing the OEM wheels but they will rub the control arms slightly at full steering lock. If you want no rubbing at all, go with something slightly smaller like the 305/65-18 (34x12.50) BFG AT KO.

 

I have a 2" leveling kit... Here's an image of 265/70 R17s (32") and 34/11.50 R17s... The Left tire is a, **** Cepek, Mountaincat... The tire on the right is a Toyo Open Country MT...



No rubbing and no trimming required...

 

Yes you can, I don't rub at all with my 35x12.5, even at full lock.

 

Does anybody have the overall height of there truck (at the antenna) with 5100, raised (or leveled) with 2" up? If so can you indicate your tire size?

 

I just replied to your PM but I'll put it out here too. My antenna is at 7' - 7' 1" while the cab of the roof is about 6' 8" - 6' 9". I can fit in garages with 6' 10" warning signs and the antenna will only hit in a couple spots, normally at the top where it gets narrower.

Thats with a 2" Bilstein level and 35x12.5x18 BFG KM2s

 

HEY Lax22,

you are the op, did you get these tires?
