2" or 3" leveling kit

I have a 2003 fx4 f150 with t bars cranked all the way up running 295/70/17 nitto terra grapples and was wondering if 2" front leveling keys and 3" or 2" rear blocks would allow me to run a 305 or 315 tire. anyone with this set up or have suggestions?

seeing you have aftermarket rims 305 would be your max.
DO NOT BUY aftermarket keys they put lots of added stress on your ball joints and cv's.
If your looking for 3 more inchs of lift go with a body lift

Exactly what that guy said^. Yaounde like your maxed as it is, if you wanna go bigger start saving your cash for a suspension lift or a body lift. However just to check what are the specs on your wheels?

Doestch, springtech, and Canuck motorsports are the most affordable brands but if you have the fabtech spindle then you need the fabtech arms.

Well I have a 3" leveling coil spacer and the guide I read on here says to use aftermarket upper control arms. I'm going to eventually get the spindles and build a 6" lift so I wanna have all the right parts.
