Just got a 07 F-150 and was going to put a 3 inch leveling kit on it with 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers. I didnt know if they would rub real bad or if this will work out. Please help because i want these tires and i dont want to get a suspension kit just the leveling kit.

 

4x4 or 4x2?
Stock wheels or aftermarket?

And don't get a 3" leveling kit, it'll only cause you a load of problems. It'll wear out the ball joints, tie rod ends, and cv axles (if you have them) a whole lot faster. Stick to 2.5" at the max.

But once you answer those two questions above we can tell you if they will fit.

 

4x4 and aftermarket.

 

Wheel specs? Width and backspacing/offset? Those are going to be the deciding factor.

 

Diameter 35x12.50-18

 

width and offset of rims. ie 20x10 -12 or 18x9 +18

 

35x13-18

 

35x12.50-18

 

those are tire specs lol. look up the size of the wheel if you know what they are and it should tell you offset and width, may even be printed on the inside of the wheel somewhere.

 

FWIW, with the stock shock / coil setup and Autospring 2.5" leveling spacer I was running Hercules Trail Digger MT 35x12.5/17 on 17x9" rims with a 4.75" backspacing.

I only got rubbing at about 3/4 lock when compressing the suspension HARD.

I had to replace upper control arms and lower ball joints. Some would blame the leveling kit, however I have plenty of friends / colleagues with these trucks unlevelled that had their joints fail at earlier mileage than mine. I blame it on Ford designing a ball joint that is not serviceable.

I have replaced the stock shock / Autospring setup with the Rancho Quicklift Loaded 2.5" setup, and while I actually gained 1/2" real lift, I also put on a fresh set of Hercules Trail Digger MTs.

Oddly enough, the new Trail Diggers actually rub enough I spent a good amount of time last night trimming the plastic from the corner of the back of the inner fender liner. Now I am back to only rubbing at full suspension compression while turning. However this too has gotten to be unacceptable to me, so I am taking the sheet metal persuasion route with an air hammer. There is a lip / seam just behind the plastic, that simply needs to be rolled to the side. This is in an area where it won't impact the structural integrity of the bodywork, or cosmetics, so I am good to go with it... I am not cutting, but rather folding what is already there.
