2.5" leveling kit And 35"

I have a 2006 f-150 S.cab FX4. I am thinking about getting some of the new Kumho Kl71 MT 35x12.5x18. I have stock wheels and a 2.5" leveling kit. Would go with the 33" but they dont make them for an 18" wheel in that tire. Was wondering if i am going to have any problems with these or will i have to do some minor or major triming? I do use this truck for hunting and other outdoor things (not severe off road) but the occasional field or mud road. any info or pics would help a ton. Thanks

THey will fit, but there will be some minor rubbing on the control arms at full steering lock.
Also, welcome to the site.

Yep. SOme 35x12.50's will really large sidewall lugs, like Mud Grapplers, have been known to touch the upper control arm/ball joint (yeah, it is that close) but you should be fine with the Kumho's.

Yes, that is the only rubbing you will have and it will be very minor. You won't have to do any trimming and you should be with fine the occasional field or mud road, my truck has done great off-road. Don't be afraid of 35's many people on here including myself are running that combo with no issues.

Yea, you should do great with the kumhos. And the search feature is an awesome thing.
