New with some questions

First i just wanted to say hi....My name is Jason and ive been a Ford guy all my life ive had 4 Fords (94 Thunderbird SC, 94 GT w/ 347 stroker, 2001 F150 FX4 Supercrew, and now i drive a 2004 F150 FX4 Supercrew....

My question is, and im sure youve heard it before but i looked around and couldnt find the answer i wanted, I bought the 2.5 Leveling Kit for my truck and ive heard you can put 35s on it....Now is that a 35x12.50 or a 325/65R18 ( i have the 18" FX4 rims) and what all do i have to trim on the bumper and how much??? Also will the tire take up all the gap in my fender well.... Ive been looking at the Hankook DynoPro MT RT03 either the 325/65R18 (35") or the 325/60R18 (33") my brother bought a set 2 days ago and they are real nice and real aggressive and theyre hard to beat for the price.....

So let me know if you have any answers to my questions and if yall have some pictures of the same setup then please post them for me....

Also if anyone has a truck with the 2.5" leveling kit and the 1.5" Bock kit please post a pic too...

Thanks, Jason

you can use either of them. i dont think that there is an actual 35/12.50 in metric size. the tires will take up all the wheelwell. as for trimming i dont think that there is any needed.

A 325 mm wide tire is too wide for the OEM 7.5 inch wide wheels. I'd go with a 35x12.50-18 or the BFG AT KO 305/65-18 (34x12.50).

Your cv angles would be reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly extreme, if they even could be bolted back up. I'd stick with the 2" or 2.5" at most.

Lack of proper research and development.

Put the 2.5" lift on, and get the 35x12.5x18, they fit and only rub a little at full steering lock. Thats what I have now.
