It's a NO CAN DO...

I have the moto's and am running 33 inch tires with only a 2 inch autospring.
Yes the rub some only in reverse AFTER a lot of triming.

You can see from the pic it is really close. I am not sure if the 2.5 inch kit would help anymore with rubbing. I would stay away from the 35's with this rim unless you get more lift... a lot more lift.

Make sure you got a sawsall... your gonna need it. Cutting and trimming is a MUST to run this setup.

On the back of the finder well there is a metal body mount on the frame... use a self tapping screw to attach the finder well to this mount. This will pull the well back some. You will need to trim the finder flare and the metal ridge on the cab body and finder under the wheel well. What is your truck an FX4 or Lariat or XLT?

I had the Airaid and Magnaflow catback for awhile. took them off recently because I was tired of the noise and also the tips were a pain to keep clean, especially in winter here.

cleaning doesn't bother me , even with the black. I put a magnaflow muffler instead of the cat . couldn't see takin a good stainless exaust off. Guess I'm alittle **** about keeping it clean . Bought an 05 focus for work so I could keep it clean .

Ive got a 6" lift with my 35s. I think it will look better if you either get the 6" lift and 35s or autospring and 33s
hey ford2004F150, do you like your LT handles? I am thinking about getting some for my black truck.
