I looked at you profile and You have a 2005 but is it 2 or 4x4? You should look in the Aftermarket, Suspension forums. From what I have seen in the posts, guys run a 2 or 2.5" spacer and fit 35's without doing anything to the rear susp. It just ends up sitting level.

i have an 05 4x4 also i have a 3" leveling kit and the truck sits perfectly level. if you need some rake you could do do an aal or get the larger blocks from autospring or fat bobs garage on ebay.

the angles arent that bad. i have had mine on since sept and have had no problems with it. depending on the bs of your rims you may need to do some trimming.

Bs is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel (where it bolts to the hub) to the rear edge. If your wheels are 10 inches wide, you are not gonna be able to fit 35's with only a leveling kit regardless of the bs. You will have to add a body lift, a full suspension lift or get crazy with a sawsall.

Member's here running 10 inch wide wheels are running suspension lifts with 35's or 33's with a leveling kit.

there was a guy on here that is running 35's with 3" leveling kit with 17x9 with 4.75" bs and he had to cut a chunk out of his inner fender and still had rubbing. https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=324092 that is th thread. i think you are going to have a lot of cutting with a 10" wide wheel. could you call the place you ordered the tires from and have them changed out for some 33's?
