3 inch Truxxx Leveling kit and 35s?

Ok so I am looking at putting bigger tires on my 05 F150 but I want to lift it as little as possible because of entry issues. And it is easier to load the chair into a lower truck. Anyways I called a local shop and they are pointint me to the following leveling kit

their website says I should be able to run 315 70 R 17 on stock offset wheels. Anyone know if this will work? Thanks for any help

Search ebay for a 2" Autospring spacer if you want an 1" less lift and still run 35's.

Does anyone have any pics of the 2 inch leveling kit with 35s? Will I have rubbing issues with only the 2 inch? Thanks

Take a look at this older thread.
https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...g+Kit+with+35s

This topic gets covered a LOT... Generally speaking...

35x12.50s WILL fit with a 2 - 2.5" leveling kit on stock wheels and some aftermarket rims as well. Backspacing is critical, as is the size of the lugs on the sides of the tires. With most tires it's fine, but Mud Grapplers, TSLs, and other tires with extremely wide lugs, you will tend to rub a little on the control arms at full lock.

With wider rims, you will need to do some trimming of the inner fender liner, and valance, both plastic pieces, to keep from rubbing. Go no wider than 9" rim with this setup though.
