leveling/tire questions!!

ok the 2.5 AS is here! what should i put in the back for a perfectly leveled stance no more than 1" higher in the back if i have to! 3"block mabey? not a fan of aals

Next question how goofy will it look w stock rims and stock tires (they r aggressive maxxis mudders tho) Shoul i mabey run a spacer adapter? the wheels sit in pretty far i want it to have the wide offroad look there stock navigator 18s i dont even think i could run a wider tire without rubbing on the ball joint!! What do u guys think?

i did this on my ranger had narrow 18s with the same 275 65 18s and 6" lift looked stupid as hell then i bought some 2" spacers and it looked like i had nice wide meats in there!!! good idea or no?

If i did go with a new tires whats the widest i can fit on there? im pretty crazy and dont get nervous easy!!! So let me know!

I'd install the leveling kit and then decide how much you want to lift the rear. As for the wheel spacers, I wouldn't do that. I'd start saving for a set of wider tires and wheels. You didn't say if you have a 4x4 or 4x2. If you have a 4x4, keep in mind you can fit a 35x12.50 using OEM wheels or a 33 using aftermarket wheels.

I meant with a 4x4 and a leveling kit you can fit a 35x12.50, or anything smaller, using the OEM wheels. If you use a wider aftermarket wheel you will be limited to 33 inch tires.

I get what your saying now i think. so a 12.5 will be ok on the stock navigator wheels? i believe there .5" bigger than FX4 wheels dont know backspacing

If they are the same width, or .5 inches wider than the F-150 wheels you should be fine.
